David Sedaris Returns to Benaroya Hall Wednesday November 16

By:

Tickets are selling fast to Seattle favorite David Sedaris. He returns to Benaroya Hall for one night only, Wednesday November 16 2016 at 7:30pm; upper balcony and scattered single tickets on the main floor remain available. 'Sedaristas' traditionally pack the house, and his 2016 Seattle reading and signing is not expected to be any different! The author slashes through cultural euphemisms and political correctness. He delights audiences with twists of humor and intelligence as he shares both published stories and works-in-progress. As the Chicago Tribune reminds readers, "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."

David Sedaris is the author of the books Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Holidays on Ice, Naked, and Barrel Fever. He is a regular contributor to The New Yorker and Public Radio International's This American Life. He lives in England.

Northwest Associated Arts (NWAA), KNKX (88.5 FM) and The Stranger present David Sedaris. Tickets are $57 or $47 and available through the Benaroya Hall Box Office, at 206.215.4747 or online at www.benaroyahall.org.
