Personable, enlightening, and just plain entertaining! Mr. Sedaris is one of the most genuine, unassuming, and likeable authors of our time. What struck me was how much time he spent talking to each person who stood in the book signing line. He also had an upcoming author start the night off with a few readings. Mr. Sedaris definitely has an eye for great emerging talent. Next time he's in town I'll be sure to be first in line for tickets!

This is the second time I've seen DS and he's always fabulous. I would have liked for the show to last a little longer. I very much enjoyed the small venue--Synphony Hall. I will go again--after his next book is released. I can hardly wait.

I have seen David Sedaris four times now and each time has been a blast. The best part is that for everyone who has read all of his published work, the shows are always full of new material that has yet to be published; so, it never feels like you've paid just to hear a reading of something that's on bookstore shelves. And for those who haven't read of all his work, the shows will get you hooked and make you want to go pick up all of his books. I've gone to see a lot of famous comedians and Sedaris may get bigger laughs than all of them.

David Sedaris is a kind man and wonderful author and lecturer.
The California Theatre is gorgeous, but unfortunately the acoustics were bass-heavy making Mr. Sedaris less than 100% intelligible (we were seated in the 5th row center orchestra).
Nonetheless he was a delight to meet and experience.

He read three stories from his new book, some funny poems and diary entries, all were good for a few laughs. Then he took Q&A from the audience, and it was all over in about 90 minutes. If you want a book signed, get there early and do it before the show. After the show the line is hella long.

It's fun to imagine an authors voice ,I was not disapointed, great inflections, timing and candor.
He has become a little more "blue", which I could have done without But, it would not keep me from seeing him again....unless it becomes " a darker shade of blue". Lol

unpretentious, real, fun. makes you remember how much there is to see in everyday moments. the fact he came to Fresno was a treat since it's a wasteland here in so many ways. which is a shame since there's so much here. back to David. like having a conversation with someone who keeps your mind open. hope to see you again, always reading your writings. inspires me to write my own.

I have read about 4 of Davids books. So I knew what he found funny in life. But having him read some of his own writing was such a pleasure. I walked away with my cheeks sore from laughing so much. Unfortunately I sat next to someone who did not appreciate his humor. The minute David said that conservatives scared him, this lady next to me, put her hands out in front of her and said, "wooooooo". As though she were something spooky. Then she spent the rest of the night with her arms folded in front of her. The funny thing was, the man sitting next to her seemed to have a great time!

Even though he had trouble with his flight and the lights kept going out, he kept his humor and gave a great performance. He even walked to the edge of the stage with a light around his neck to keep reading - so the show could go on!

I'd never seen David in person, nor had I read his books, although many of my friends have, and he has been highly recommended to me. I will definlitely be catching up on my David Sedaris reading!!! With remarkable aplomb, David waited while the sound tech's at Gammage auditorium balanced the sound so that the people in the balconies could actually hear. I have never before been at a performance at which the audience yelled, "We can't hear you!" from the balcony. While David is amazing, Gammage auditorium is probably the worst venue in Arizona.

Cannot believe we paid $75 each to hear David Sedaris read from his books, essays, diary, etc. the acoustics were awful. Missed about 10mins of his "reading" Before that was taken care of. actually, there were 2 such interruptions regarding acoustics.
I am a fan of Sedaris' writing but this had to be the biggest disappointment in the history of performances I've seen.

David Sedaris has great insight into the little things that make us human and has a way of conveying them with extreme hilarity. The clarity of his observations are what makes drives them home, and no one is exempt from his penetrating remarks. His on the spot responses are as clever as his well developed essays. Brilliant.

I was introduced to David Sedaris' writing about 10 years ago and I became an instant fan. He's a genius in my eyes. Mr. Sedaris walked around in the crowd before the show like it was no big deal. Of course, it was a huge deal to me, and I was really shocked that a world-renown author would just wander around among his fans. He sat down at a small table to sign our books before the show. He talked to each of us for a few minutes which was pretty unexpected. He was very down to earth and even drew a little owl in my book while we spoke. I felt so nervous and intimidated to meet him in person. I didn't want to say something trying to be witty and have him think of me as an idiot, so I just answered his rather cheeky question about my 20 year old son who attends NAU and moved along.
His reading was wonderful and exactly what I was hoping for: scathing wit, honesty, humor. He answered a few questions following the show, but I was afraid to raise my hand. He signed books following the show as well.
I can't wait to see him again!
