“Experiences this enjoyable are usually illegal.”
Denver Rocky Mountain News

Author of the best-selling Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked, and a regular contributor to public radio and numerous magazines, David Sedaris made his unforgettable comic debut recounting his sad-but-unfortunately-true experiences as a Macy’s Christmas Elf on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition. Beloved by fans and regarded as one of America’s wittiest and most irreverent voices, Sedaris’ incisive, sardonic humor spares the shortcomings of no one, especially himself. Entertainment Weekly hails him as “a beacon of comic sanity.”
