I was flipping through the entertainment section my local paper and saw a full sized ad for a David Sedaris show coming to town next week. I called just in time, the show is nearly sold out!

I’ve seen him on Letterman several times and have always gotten a big laugh. Anybody else see him live?

Yes. He was in Atlanta last year and was very entertaining. He read some of his latest stuff and took questions from the audience. If you’re a fan, you’ll have a great time.

Wow, I’m going to see him next week too! Actually, I haven’t bought my tickets yet, so I can only hope to be seeing him next week. ☹

I saw him maybe three years ago, right after \*Me Talk Pretty One Day[\i] came out. He was hilarious! So I’m going to see him again on the 17th, when he comes here. You’ll have a great time.
