Humorist and storytelling champion David Sedaris will return to Cincinnati for a one-night speaking engagement this fall. The best-selling author will bring his signature stories to the Aronoff Center Nov. 3; tickets are $40-$53 and can be purchased here.
Sedaris is known for his oddly relatable, true-ish tales that combine comedy, embarrassment, neurosis and observational rants into a beautiful, laugh-out-loud experience. Some of his most popular writings include Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary, When You Are Engulfed in Flames and “Santaland Diaries.” He is also a frequent contributor on National Public Radio’s This American Life. And he has a pretty cool sister.
For a perfect slice of Sedaris storytelling, go here to listen to his recent contribution to This American Life‘s live theater event. Sedaris last performed in Cincinnati in 2010.
