David Sedaris, humorist, bestselling author and radio star, has announced his UK dates for 2022 – which includes a visit to York Barbican.

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

Calypso, his latest collection of essays, is a New York Times best-seller, and a Washington Post Best Book of the Year. The audiobook of Calypso has been nominated for a 2019 Grammy for the Best Spoken Word Album.
