Review
Sedaris's sparkling essays always shimmer ore brightly when read aloud by the author. And his expert timing, mimicry and droll asides are never more polished than during live performances in front of an audience. (Publishers Weekly - Starred Review for WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES )
"A master of the pregnant pause and king of cockeyed deadpan, Sedaris is at the top of his game in these five live performances...The brisk and endlessly entertaining listen again proves that mere readers of Sedaris are missing out." (Publishers Weekly )

Product Description
If you were lucky enough to have caught a performance on David Sedaris's most recent sold-out, 34-city tour, you already know that David Sedaris Live For Your Listening Pleasure is a must-have album! If you didn't hear it live and in person, then you're in for a treat-hilarious brand-new recordings from performances in Denver, New York, Durham, LA, and Atlanta, in one convenient audiobook collection, on sale November 24 for only $17.98.
From the bold feral rabbits of his French backyard to the eating habits of a carnivorous bird Down Under, Live For Your Listening Pleasure takes listeners on a veritable tour of natural wonders, beginning with a fable, "Cat and Baboon," and moving on to the peculiarly American habitat of the "big-box" store.

This review is from: David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (LP Record)
I bought this for my GF for X-Mas as she already owned all of DS's books. It's entertaining and a nice collector's item. We've since met DS at a reading and had him autograph the record! Looks great in a frame

This review is from: David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (Audio CD)
I listened to this cd this morning by myself, and found myself laughing out loud many times. David is in fine form, and is as hilarious as ever. Reading his books is one thing, but listening to him read them takes it to a whole new level of funny! I can't say enough good things about this cd. If you're a fan, I predict you'll love this album.

After years of waiting: nee ha RAH gua!,

This review is from: David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (Audio CD)
I heard David Sedaris speak in San Diego a couple of years ago and he read Innocents Abroad, which covers tracks 6 through 8 on this CD. As soon as we got home that night I looked on the web, and to my horror it was not available. I looked through American Lives archives in case they'd gotten a clue and recorded him reading this; I searched YouTube; I wrote his agency; I did everything but stalk Mr. Sedaris to try and locate this hilarious story about pretentious accents, to no avail. I received the CD tonight and listened to the story again, and now my holiday is complete. I don't care what happens for the rest of the year. Thank you, Mr. Sedaris and the Barclay Agency, for finally providing this!!!

This review is from: David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure (Audio CD)
Perfect timing,having been a David fan for years, The CD Live For Your Listening Pleasure arrived just before I was 'snowbound' for the holidays. It's always a comforting pleasure to hear David's voice and appreciate his keen sense of humor. I'll never be able to look at flight attendants without thinking of 'crop dusting' Thank you David Sedaris from David Caris
