An Evening with David Sedaris

Saturday, May 9, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. He is the master of satire and one of today's most observant writers addressing the human condition.

Writer, humorist, and master of satire David Sedaris returns to Santa Cruz for an evening of readings and recollections, Q&A, and book signing. One of the country’s preeminent humor writers, beloved for his personal essays and short stories, Sedaris writes in a style both autobiographical and self-deprecating, ruminating on family life, his middle-class, suburban upbringing, homosexuality, drug use, and obsessive behaviors. Several of his books have graced national bestseller lists, including Calypso, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim; his latest book Happy-Go-Lucky was published last May by Little, Brown and Company.

David will sign books for patrons after the show.
