SLCene Suggests: David Sedaris at Capitol Theatre

DAVID SEDARIS, CAPITOL THEATRE, Sunday, Aug. 28, 7 p.m., $32.50-$49.50

Perhaps you’re familiar with David Sedaris via his books like Barrel Fever or Me Talk Pretty One Day. Or maybe you know his audio essays from This American Life. Reading his work and listening to his radio pieces are both fine ways to delve into the man’s humor and style. But there’s something extra that comes with seeing Sedaris in person. His stories come off with more laughter. His interactions with the audience are great. And he always suggests a book to the audience and offers a little book report–something I’ve come to appreciate in the several times I’ve gone to his SLC appearances. It should make for a fine Sunday night, and I imagine there will be some offerings from his new book, Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls.
