Humorist David Sedaris returns to Louisville. Here's how to get tickets

The master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today is returning for a live performance in Louisville.

Humorist David Sedaris will appear at the Brown Theatre, 315 W Broadway, on Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets to this Louisville Public Media-sponsored event go on sale Friday, May 19 at 10 a.m.

Sedaris is the author of the previous bestsellers "Calypso," "Naked," "Me Talk Pretty One Day," "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim," and is a regular National Public Radio contributor. He will be appearing following the release of his newest books "Happy-Go-Lucky" and "A Carnival of Snackery: Diaries."

Sedaris is no stranger to Louisville, having appeared here several times through the years. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and book signing. Books will be available for sale at the event, courtesy of Carmichael’s Bookstore.

If you love 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 uniquely personal narrative that will keep you laughing throughout the evening.

All seats at the Brown Theatre are reserved, range from $57.25-$62.25, and are subject to additional taxes and fees. Tickets go on sale at KentuckyPerformingArts.org.
