Sedaris has written several national bestsellers, including Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, and his newest book, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls. He is also a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, and can be heard reading his original radio pieces on NPR’s This American Life. Recently, a film adaptation of Sedaris’ work, entitled C.O.G., premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2013. Sedaris was named Time magazine’s “Humorist of the Year” in 2001 and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. Entertainment Weekly calls Sedaris “The preeminent humorist of his generation,” and Publishers Weekly writes, “Sedaris’ sparkling essays always shimmer more brightly when read aloud by the author. And his expert timing, mimicry, and droll asides are never more polished than during live performances in front of an audience.” “David Sedaris’ visit to Bloomington always provides some memorable moments,” said IU Auditorium director Doug Booher. “He is one of the most profoundly hilarious voices in social commentary to date. His books are remarkable, but the opportunity to hear him share his stories in his own voice is unforgettable!” Post-performance, Mr. Sedaris will sign books for fans in the Auditorium lobby. All ticket holders for the November 7 performance are invited to attend. For more information on David Sedaris and the rest of the 2013-2014 season, visit IUauditorium.com. The website features video clips and a selection of songs from this season’s performances, in addition to a direct link to the IU Auditorium Facebook and Twitter pages, whose members receive exclusive benefits throughout the year. David Sedaris at IU Auditorium is sponsored by Bloomington Bagel Company, Oliver Winery, Hilliard Lyons, and WFIU Public Radio. IU Auditorium’s 2013-2014 season is sponsored by Curry Auto Center, B97, The Herald-Times, and IU Residential Programs and Services. ### .

(December 9, 2016) The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts and WBUR are proud to present An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers “Naked,” “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” “Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim” and regular National Public Radio contributor, for one night only at on Saturday, April 15, 2017 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale to members now.

As always, Sedaris will be offering selections of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and post-show book signing. Tweaking the familiar until it warps, David Sedaris mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path and his move with his lover to France. Including his recent releases, the New York Times bestselling books “When You Are Engulfed in Flames” and “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary,” David Sedaris’ wickedly witty observations of the ordinary-bizarre are always sure to deliver insights and laughs. One of six children in a second-generation Greek family, he grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1977, he dropped out of Kent State University to hitchhike around the country. Aside from working as an elf, Sedaris has worked a number of charmingly quirky jobs such as a house painter, an apple --more-- picker, an aide in a mental hospital, a creative writing teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago and an apartment cleaner.
