An Evening with David Sedaris

10 – 11 February 2025

In the Concert Hall

Talks and Ideas

A savant of razor-sharp and sardonic wit – don’t miss an evening with one of the world’s pre-eminent humour writers. 

To see Sedaris live is pure joy. To watch this bookish, culotte-evangelising man read his life’s work on stage is word-nerd heaven.
