David Sedaris Upcoming Events & Tickets

Bestselling author, humorist and acclaimed social satirist David Sedaris is returning to the stage in 2027 for an extensive international tour, bringing his unmistakable wit, sharp observations and brilliantly personal storytelling to audiences around the world. Known for his appearances on NPR and This American Life, as well as bestselling books including Me Talk Pretty One Day, Calypso, Naked and Happy-Go-Lucky, Sedaris has become one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary humor. His upcoming performances follow the publication of The Land and Its People and will feature fresh, previously unpublished stories, hilarious recollections and thought-provoking commentary on everyday life, family relationships and the peculiarities of human behavior.

David Sedaris’ 2027 tour begins with an international run across Australia and New Zealand in January, including performances in Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. February brings appearances in Hawaii, followed by European performances in March, including Berlin and Vienna. The spring North American schedule includes Northampton, Kitchener, Lexington, Dayton, St. Louis, Detroit and Austin, with performances taking place at renowned theaters and performing arts centers. Highlights include the Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton on April 1, Lexington Opera House on April 13, Stifel Theatre in St. Louis on April 16 and the Long Center in Austin on April 28. The international itinerary offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience Sedaris’ storytelling in an intimate live setting.

Unlike a traditional stand-up comedy performance, an evening with David Sedaris combines literary readings, spontaneous humor and candid observations, creating an experience that is both deeply personal and consistently entertaining. Many performances also include audience questions and opportunities for book signings before or after the show, allowing fans to connect with the acclaimed author beyond the stage. No separate special guest or opening act has been announced for the current 2027 dates. With new material, his trademark sardonic humor and an extraordinary ability to find comedy in the most unexpected places, David Sedaris’ 2027 tour promises an unforgettable evening of laughter, reflection and storytelling.
