About this listen

David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is surpassed only by his ability to make his stories even more hilarious when he reads them aloud.

This is the complete recording of Meet David Sedaris Series One, his first series for Radio 4, and he reads essays from several of his books as well as many brand new diary pieces and extras.

The full listing is:

  • Six to Eight Black Men and Let It Snow, from Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
  • Just a Quick E-mail and Laugh Kookaburra, from Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls
  • The Cat and The Baboon, from Squirrel Meets Chipmunk
  • Keeping Up and With a Pal Like This, Who Needs Enemies, from When You Are Engulfed in Flames
  • Picka Pocketoni and I’ll Eat What He’s Wearing, from Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris leads a funny old life writes it down then reads it. There’s something comforting to hear him tell you how it happened in his own words. A great book recommended

Inappropriate, at times shockingly so, Sadaris is going to entertain you. I have bought all 5 in the series and have loved them all. He is a funny man,who enjoys sharing his very funny stories.

Sedaris is a man made from funny bones

Definitely worth a monthly credit

David Sedaris has become a constant companion throughout lockdown. Even though I already know all the stories, I never tire of hearing him narrate them, he is just brilliant.

Witty and well observed. So enjoyable as always. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this. Hilarious.

Although you can buy recordings of David Sedaris reading his books in their entirety I am not sure if I do not enjoy these readings in front of an audience even more. You can hear the nervousness of the laughter when Sedaris moves towards "third rail" territory and then the great release that comes when you get the conclusion that shows his heart has been in the right place all along. Rolls Royce BBC production values, as you would expect, and each programme just the right length to listen to with full attention when you are in the mood. I have listened to these over and over again.

Funny and engaging

Maybe like other listeners, my 1 monthly credit is precious. To use it on just under 2 hours of entertainment is a difficult choice to make. Whilst I absolutely loved this book/narration I felt it was over before it began. Please Audible, at least create a download which gives value for money.

Perfect, but not long enough!
