AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS
“David Sedaris isn’t a stand-up, or even much of a showman. But in his own dry and unassuming way, he’s one of the finest comic talents currently living on this planet.” THE GUARDIAN
You may have heard him on the hugely popular BBC Radio 4 series ‘’Meet David Sedaris’’ or you might be one of the millions worldwide who have read one of his many books. Now, after three sell-out runs in London, two sell-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival stints and a sell-out UK 2014 tour; David Sedaris will once again set out across the UK, we’re delighted to have him here at Margate Winter Gardens for what is sure to be one of the literary events of the year.
“He has a Bennett-like way with a pause, and pitch perfect comedy timing…” SCOTSMAN ★★★★
With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.
“Profanity seldom sounds this refined, phrases so expertly massaged, or laughs so lovingly engineered.” THE HERALD ★★★★
David Sedaris is the author Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and When You Are Engulfed in Flames, each of which became a bestseller. There are a total of seven million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.
“No, Sedaris isn’t a stand-up, but he’s certainly a masterful comic writer, whose modest delivery brings his words to hilarious life.” CHORTLE ★★★★
