David Sedaris made his comic debut recounting his strange-but-true experiences of being a Macy's elf clad in green tights, reading his SANTALAND DIARIES on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. Sedaris' sardonic humor and incisive social critique have since made him one of NPR's most popular and humorous commentators and a best-selling author in the United States and abroad. The great skill with which Sedaris slices through euphemisms and political correctness proves that he is a master of satire. Everywhere he goes David Sedaris delights his audience with his irreverent style and great humor. In addition to his commentaries on NPR, David Sedaris is the author of the best-sellers BARREL FEVER and NAKED. His collection of Christmas related stories is entitled HOLIDAY ON ICE. His book of essays ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY was published in June 2000, became an immediate best-seller. David and his sister, Amy Sedaris, have collaborated under the name The Talent Family and written several plays which have been produced at La Mama and at Lincoln Center in New York City. These plays include STUMP THE HOST, STITCHES, ONE WOMAN SHOE, which received an Obie award, INCIDENT AT COBBLER'S KNOB, and THE BOOK OF LIZ. David is a regular contributor to "Esquire" magazine and his essays have also appeared in "The New Yorker," "Allure," and "Travel and Leisure."
