Enjoy An Evening of Wit & Wonder with David Sedaris

Celebrated author and humorist David Sedaris will bring his sharp wit and offbeat observations to the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville for a one-night-only event next Thursday, Apr 24, at 7p.

  • That’s Sedarious: With multiple bestsellers, NPR features, and three Grammy nominations under his belt, Sedaris has been making audiences laugh (and think) for over 25 years. His readings feel more like conversations with his funny, intimate, and entirely unforgettable style.

  • Stories & Sarcasm: His anecdotes are riddled with strange addictions, unbelievable job experiences, and his eccentric family, all delivered in his droll, conversational style, which makes him one of the greatest humorists of our time.

Grab your tickets before they’re gone HERE.
