Summary
David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is surpassed only by his ability to make his stories even more hilarious when he reads them aloud.
This is the complete recording of Meet David Sedaris Series One, his first series for Radio 4, and he reads essays from several of his books as well as many brand new diary pieces and extras.
The full listing is:
- Six to Eight Black Men and Let It Snow, from Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
- Just a Quick E-mail and Laugh Kookaburra, from Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls
- The Cat and The Baboon, from Squirrel Meets Chipmunk

Love this man!
I love listening to this guy! I discovered him by accident on Radio 4 and now have all four recordings. he's very funny, tongue in cheek, dry sense of humor and I'm lucky enough to be going to see - hear him read live in June!

Boring
Monotonous rendition of mediocre materials. Surprised by others’ glorious reviews. Perhaps you m just not getting the jokes.

Funny and engaging
Although you can buy recordings of David Sedaris reading his books in their entirety I am not sure if I do not enjoy these readings in front of an audience even more. You can hear the nervousness of the laughter when Sedaris moves towards "third rail" territory and then the great release that comes when you get the conclusion that shows his heart has been in the right place all along. Rolls Royce BBC production values, as you would expect, and each programme just the right length to listen to with full attention when you are in the mood. I have listened to these over and over again.
