Ever since “The Santaland Diaries” aired on NPR in the 1990s, David Sedaris has been a regular guest in listeners’ heads.
On Saturday, Nov. 7, the humorist will bring that unmistakable to San Antonio — a near-annual stop — as part of his Sanctioned Shaming & Vicious Trauma tour.
Expect Sedaris’ night at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre to include readings from his latest, The Land and Its People, an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller whose 28 essays consider life as a foreigner, a brother and a lifelong friend.
Publishers Weekly ranks the works among the best of the writer’s career, and Texans are likely to appreciate a cameo from Ann Richards in “The Hem of His Garment.”
Stick around for the Q&A and pre and post-show book signing. Sedaris has a knack for leaving crowds in stitches with his off-the-cuff answers. The charm is guaranteed; the crankiness comes at no extra charge.
$78-$225, 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, 226 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 226-5700, CharlineMcCombsEmpireTheatre.
