I've never seen him in person, but love his books. Every time I've seen him on the tube, he's usually reading a passage or two from those books. Is that standard fare for live performances or is he more freestyle???

"Plague of Tics" still lays me out every time I read it. I'd type more but I'd have to lick the light switch.

Thanks for the reviews! Sedaris' story about Santaland is my crew's favorite audiobook.

That's pretty much his m.o. live. Passages from his books, essays, or other writings. Of course, it's all in the reading and his ability to play off the crowd.

I can't stand his books. But the same stuff is incredibly funny when he reads it out loud. I think his voice is just inherently funny so it doesn't matter so much what he says.
