AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS
Saturday, 16 January 2010 - STATE THEATRE, Sydney NSW
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING....
"It was Woody Allen in his prime who provided the gags throughout the last days of the Cold War. During the 1990s Jerry Seinfeld provided the comic relief as a triumphant America assumed its role as the world's lone superpower. As the new millennium ends its first decade, it would now seem to be David Sedaris's turn to make us laugh as America blunders about the planet minding everyone else's business. With his strangely soothing eccentricities and his impeccable comic timing, it's hard to imagine a better person to do it"
- Sydney Morning Herald
"Sedaris ain't the preeminent humorist of his generation by accident"
— Whitney Pastorek, Entertainment Weekly
"Sedaris has hit upon the narrative equivalent of Pepsi, or the PlayStation, or oxygen, or the haircut: something that others in the world might actually want and find useful. . . He's smart, he's caustic, he's mordant, and, somehow, he's . . . well, nice"
— Bill Richardson, Toronto Globe and Mail
"Sedaris's droll assessment of the mundane and the eccentrics who inhabit the world's crevices make him one of the greatest humorists writing today"
— Chicago Tribune
"Sedaris belongs on any list of people writing in English at the moment who are revising our ideas about what's funny."
— San Francisco Chronicle
