WABE Presents An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Calypso, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor will be appearing for one night only at the Fox Theatre on Monday, April 11, 2022, at 7:30 p.m., following the release of his newest books The Best of Me and A Carnival of Snackery.

Tickets, starting at $46 plus applicable fees, go on sale Friday, Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. EST at foxtheatre.org or by calling 855-285-8499. Marquee Club access is now available to those who purchase Club Level seats only. Club Level is located in the Loge section (front balcony) of the theatre and available for purchase during the ticket buying process at foxtheatre.org.

This is a unique opportunity to see the best-selling humorist in an intimate setting. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and book signing. Books will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of A Capella Books.

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Mr. 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. His new book, The Best of Me (Little Brown/ Hachette, Fall 2020), is a collection of 42 previously published stories and essays, about which novelist Andrew Sean Greer wrote in the New York Times: “You must read “The Best of Me.” It will be a new experience, knowing that enough time has passed to find humor in the hardest parts of life. More than ever — we’re allowed to laugh.”

For David Sedaris’s lovers, cheerfully misanthropic stories, guests might think they know what they're getting into at his live readings, but they'd be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a uniquely personal narrative that will keep everyone laughing throughout the evening.
