What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “hilarious”
my introduction to David sedaris…..it was laugh out loud funny. great way to start the day.— Marisa Migliore, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Laughing out loud”
I never fail to feel better and actually laugh out loud, no matter what my mood, after listening to David Sedaris. It’s not just his voice – a pleasant monotone with a slightly nasal New York accent. It’s not just his delivery – a slightly sarcastic, mocking, yet self deprecating and appreciative look at his merry band of unusual yet loveable family, friends and acquaintances. It is mostly his ability to help us laugh (out loud!) at ourselves, reflecting back to us the realization that we and our own families, friends and acquaintances are just crazy, funny, unusual and loveable. Thank you David!— LCS, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Hilarious “
