Good introduction to the man,
This review is from: David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall (Audio CD)
Having heard him earlier in the year on Radio 4 I bought 'Holidays on Ice' for some friends, as it has '6 to 8 black men' on it, which I think is his funniest piece, but the rest of that disc wasn't really suitable. This is an ideal introduction to his work, as it's funny and the audience really helps sell the humour. At 70 mins though, it is a little short, hence only 3 stars.

classic Sedaris,
By Cloggie Downunder (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall (Audio CD)
David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall is a recording of excerpts from Sedaris 2002 tour, recorded at Carnegie Hall. Repeat After Me is a piece that explores the use of family anecdotes, in this case, of his somewhat paranoid sister Lisa, for material in his books and essays. Hilarious throughout, the last line none-the-less brings a lump to the throat. Who's the Chef explores dinner party conversations and one-up-manship. Lesson Three explores going clothing shopping with Amy; Lesson Four, male accessories, in particular an external catheter. Six to Eight Black Men explores local gun laws and Christmas customs in foreign countries. As a Cloggie, this one was particularly entertaining. Throughout, Sedaris self-deprecating manner and original humour has the audience rolling in the aisles.

This review is from: David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall (Audio CD)
I never tire of listening to David Sedaris. This recording includes 'Six to Eight Black Men', which is one of his funniest; I'd loved to have been in the audience in Carnegie Hall when this was recorded. I've also bought 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', which is equally delightful, and I intend buying more.
