David Sedaris

Live at Carnegie Hall

By: David Sedaris

Narrated by: David Sedaris

A must-listen, live-recorded audiobook for newcomers and die-hard Sedaris fans alike, packed with the acclaimed humorist’s signature wit and social commentary.

Bestselling essayist David Sedaris likes to test out his new material on nationwide reading tours to get the rhythm and phrasing perfected before he puts them down on the page. This live recording of his sold-out 2002 reading at New York City’s fabled Carnegie Hall finds Sedaris debuting new and hilarious stories, all captured in this exclusive audiobook.

Tales include a parrot who mimics an ice maker, lovers quarrelling over a rubber hand, and a Santa Claus who moonlights from his job as bishop of Turkey.

“If you’re looking for some comic relief, look no further than David Sedaris.” ―NPR

hilarious

my introduction to David sedaris.....it was laugh out loud funny. great way to start the day.

Laughing out loud

I never fail to feel better and actually laugh out loud, no matter what my mood, after listening to David Sedaris. It's not just his voice - a pleasant monotone with a slightly nasal New York accent. It's not just his delivery - a slightly sarcastic, mocking, yet self deprecating and appreciative look at his merry band of unusual yet loveable family, friends and acquaintances. It is mostly his ability to help us laugh (out loud!) at ourselves, reflecting back to us the realization that we and our own families, friends and acquaintances are just crazy, funny, unusual and loveable. Thank you David!

Hilarious

I love David’s writing but listening to him tell his stories is way better! His delivery is just comedic perfection!

You WILL laugh out loud

The only cautionary tale I have is if you happen to listed to this while driving...because you WILL laugh at his essays. He is a total riot. I have loved everything I've even read/heard by him.

Hilarious!!

The only problem is it is too short! I didnt want it to end!
