David Sedaris has delighted National Public Radio listeners for years and was hailed by the New Yorker as one of the funniest writers in America, "whose satirical brazenness holds up to Twain and Nathaniel West." This updated box set collection of Sedaris's hilarious audio programs, includes his most recent releases Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim and Live at Carnegie Hall.

DRESS YOUR FAMILY IN CORDUROY AND DENIM is the most recent unforgettable collection. The program received a 2004 Grammy award nomination for Best Comedy Album, as well as a huge response from critics around the country.

DAVID SEDARIS LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL was recorded live on October 22nd, 2002, in New York City. The program went on to receive a 2004 Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album, and made Entertainment Weekly's Must List.

ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY combines pieces that have appeared in Esquire and the New Yorker with extraordinary new material and uproarious live performances. These essays combine poignancy and humor in equal measure.

NAKED is a riotous compilation of stories performed by David and Amy Sedaris. Publishers Weekly praised this program and named it one of "the best of the best" tapes of the year and "worthy of multiple listens."

HOLIDAYS ON ICE skewers the absurd conventions and contrivances of the holiday season, with hilarious effect. Listener-favorite "SantaLand Diaries" joins new material in a bevy of holiday cheer that sparkles with imagination.

BARREL FEVER AND OTHER STORIES is Sedaris's first collection of comic stories and essays and is described by the New York Post as "a nuclear barrage of humor you could never replicate by reading this material on your own."

David Sedaris is a playwright and a regular commentator for National Public Radio. He travels extensively through Europe and the United States on lecture tours and lives in France.
