Humour writer David Sedaris performs at Norwood Concert Hall on 16 January 2027, reading from his new essay collection The Land and Its People and taking questions from the audience.
David Sedaris brings his live show to Norwood Concert Hall on Saturday 16 January 2027 at 7:00pm. The American humour writer will perform brand new essays and freshly written diary entries from the stage, followed by a candid audience Q&A session and extended book signing.
Sedaris' latest work, The Land and Its People, marks his first new essay collection since Happy-Go-Lucky. The book explores what it means to be a foreigner, a brother, and a lifelong friend, with Sedaris reflecting on his experience as a caretaker following his partner Hugh's hip-replacement surgery. The collection balances tender and devastating moments in Sedaris' characteristic style—writing that provokes guilty laughter.
Known for his sardonic wit and observational humour, Sedaris has built a devoted following through live performances and published collections. He's particularly fond of Australian venues, noting that airport security procedures feel like a trip back to 1975: relaxed, shoe-friendly, and without yelling. The book signing will run as long as needed, true to form.
