David Sedaris
David Sedaris brings his essay-based comedy to Benaroya Hall's main auditorium downtown on November 16th. The humorist reads from his work—part memoir, part social observation—in a venue better known for orchestras, which somehow feels right for someone who's spent decades turning everyday absurdities into something worth listening to.

Lineup
