YOU may have heard him on the hugely popular BBC Radio 4 series Meet David Sedaris or you might be one of the millions worldwide who have read one of his many books. Now, after three sell-out runs in London, two sell-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival stints and a sell out UK 2014 tour; David Sedaris will once again set out across the UK in June including a date at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday, June 3.

Prior to moving to live in the UK and becoming more widely known here thanks to his live readings and radio show, Sedaris was already firmly establishing himself as one of America's most celebrated humour writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire, one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.

As one scribe put it, he could 'lift your spirits reading out the ingredients of a rice cake'. David Sedaris's latest book Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls received universal acclaim.

The series 'Meet David Sedaris' on BBC Radio 4 has been hugely popular and this Christmas Eve just past saw him recite a specially recorded version of his famous 'Santaland Diaries'. This covers a period in his life in which for two consecutive Christmases in the early 1990s, he was a Christmas elf at Santaland in the famous New York department store Macy's.
