An Evening with a True Original

David Sedaris is not just a comedian or an author — he is a cultural phenomenon. With bestselling collections like Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, and Calypso, Sedaris has built a fiercely loyal following by turning the mundane moments of everyday life into comedic gold. His live readings are legendary, often featuring brand-new material pulled fresh from his beloved diary, making every performance a one-of-a-kind experience that no two audiences ever share in quite the same way.

Atlanta audiences have long embraced Sedaris with open arms, and the city's vibrant arts and culture scene makes it a natural fit for a performer of his caliber. When Sedaris comes to town, Atlanta shows up — and for good reason.
