AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS | Tue., Nov. 30, 2021 | Cincinnati Music Hall

CAA_An Evening with David Sedaris logoThe Best-Selling Author, Humorist and  Contributor to This American Life  
Live at Cincinnati Music Hall – November 30, 2021

On sale Friday, August 20 at 10:00 AM

(Cincinnati, OH) – WVXU-FM presents An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Calypso, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor. Sedaris will be appearing for one night only at Cincinnati Music Hall on November 30, 2021 at 7:30 PM, following the release of his newest books The Best of Me and A Carnival of Snackery.

Tickets go on sale Friday, August 20 at 10:00 AM at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office downtown at 650 Walnut Street. For Group Sales of ten or more, call (513) 977-4157.

This is a unique opportunity to see the best-selling humorist in an intimate setting. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and book signing.

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Mr. Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. His new book, The Best of Me (Little Brown/ Hachette, Fall 2020), is a collection of 42 previously published stories and essays, about which novelist Andrew Sean Greer wrote in The New York Times: “You must read The Best of Me. It will be a new experience, knowing that enough time has passed to find humor in the hardest parts of life. More than ever — we’re allowed to laugh.”

If you love David Sedaris’s cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you’re getting  into at his live readings. You’d be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a unique persona that will keep you laughing throughout  the evening. Don’t miss this event!
