An Evening with David Sedaris
Tickets on sale Thursday 2 July 10amA savant of razor-sharp and sardonic wit, an evening with David Sedaris is better than therapy, a life affirming joyful experience that leaves a person feeling as if their cup has been filled right to the brim by one of the world's pre-eminent humour writers. Expect brand new essays and freshly minted diary entries read live from the stage, a candid audience Q&A, and an extended book signing that — true to form — will run as long as it needs to. In The Land and Its People, his first new essay collection since Happy-Go-Lucky, Sedaris reflects on what it means to be a foreigner, a brother, and a lifelong friend — trying on the role of caretaker after his partner Hugh's hip-replacement surgery. Equal parts tender and devastating, it's classic Sedaris: the kind of writing that makes you laugh until you feel guilty, then laugh again anyway.
And Sedaris himself? He knows exactly why he keeps coming back. "I love the airports of Australia. Security wise, they're like stepping into a time machine and coming out in 1975. No one yells at you, you get to keep your shoes on. It's heaven." Don't miss the opportunity to hear David Sedaris read from his brand-new book.
