An Evening With David Sedaris

David Sedaris

April 11 at 7:30 pm
Collins Center for the Arts

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s preeminent 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.
