David was a wonderful speaker and his readings were lovely. It seemed short for the $35 we paid. I guess that's the price of things today. I would have liked to hear more discussion about his writing technique.

I have seen David Sedaris read from his work live several times and each time has been better than the last. If you've read his book and/or have his audio books, his live readings are even better if you can believe that.

I was so happy to learn David Sedaris was coming for a book reading in Honolulu. He is by far, my favorite author, and I have always wanted to attend one of his book readings. He did not let me down, and I can't wait to not only see him live again, but read another of his books....TWO THUMBS UP!! Just wished the book signing line wasn't so long! I couldn't wait to have my book signed.. :(

David was hilarious. We were on the upper level and could not hear several of the punchlines because the show was not loud enough up there. It also looked tacky to have that orange extension cord from the left halfway across the stage over to David's podium. What we could hear was very entertaining.

I've been a fan of David Sedaris for many years! With each new book he's written, my sisters and i pass them on to each other and can't wait for the next. We all love his wit and character, as it is very similar to our type of family humor -- among 7 sisters! He just puts it out there: just SAYING what we were actually just thinking....
Listening to him at the concert hall in person, we enjoyed every minute of it....splitting our sides with laughter! Great that he has come back to Hawaii!

I love David Sedaris! He is truly a master of observing the funny in the horrible and beautiful parts of life! He made us laugh hysterically through out the night and then suddenly made us think and want to cry because of his understanding of what we all go through.
He is very genial and genuine and felt like listening to your very funny friend. very, very funny friend.

David Sedaris was hillarious, as was expected. But what I didn't expect was for him to be so friendly and easy to talk to. I went early and was actually the first person who got my (multiple) books signed by David. He was really nice and took his time, talking to my mother and me. He even gave me some lotion that he had picked up from the 4 Seasons on Maui. I would say that he chatted with us for a good five minutes, as I anxiously appologized for taking his time (the line grew quickly). He reassured me that there was no need to be sorry and noted that he enjoyed chatting with everyone. Then I took my seat and he just rocked the concert hall. He is truly a rockstar. :)

"Just An Email", diary readings and book reviews during last night's performance in Honolulu was so enjoyable. I laughed (flight attendant, "You're trash"), I cringed (poor honu), and I was thoroughly entertained by David Sedaris' honest and humorous observations of life. I would definitely go see him again!

Sedaris provides another performance of poignant filled perspectives on life. Drawing on every day occurrences, Sedaris engages the audience with graphic descriptors and humorous depictions of his thought processes. The new material consisted of emails between sisters with a twist, recollections of conversations with past attendees, what if scenarios, and readings from the diary.

David Sedaris was amazing last night. Although the signing lines were long, it was well worth the wait to meet the man behind such classics as "Naked" and "Holidays on Ice." This is my second time seeing him in Hawaii and I would definitely go again.

We went last year and anticipated a good time this year. And YES!, he was amazing.
We LAUGHED and tears flowed. David seemed genuinely happy to be there with great, new material.

Call me twisted, but seeing David Sedaris read his books aloud is better than watching Elvis or Michael Jackson give a concert. And they're dead! You can imagine how much a ticket would cost too see a super rock star that has risen from the dead (not to mention money that could be made scalping that ticket) but I'd choose Mr. Sedaris, any time! He is a wonderful, funny writer and an even better speaker. And he is nice to look at, to boot. If he wasn't gay, I'd have thrown my underwear on the stage.
I stood in line for the book signing and when I got there, I of course, completely blew my one chance to say something clever to him. I giggled like a complete idiot and tried to say something funny, but it just came out fannish—stupid. It's like wanting to be a rock star and when someone gives you a mic, you start singing "feelings." But David Sedaris was very nice, understanding(kind to stupid animals) and seemed happy to sign my books. He even asked me if I spoke German and if I had a cat. I don't care for cats, but I sure wished I had one at that moment.
Thanks very much for bringing him here and please don't wait long to do it again!

David Sedaris brought his signature wit, irony, and satire along. He is wonderful. He brought the performance above an ordinary reading by fielding questions from the audience. My only complaint: I was sitting in the back row and had trouble hearing some of it. So I don't feel I got full value for my dollars, rather a shame in today's economy.

My jaws were aching from laughing so much. I was so glad that he included new material but would have been just as happy with his old stuff. He is a masterful writer with a dry, quick wit.
