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
