Returning from his sell-out show in 2014, David Sedaris returns to Wharton Center to coincide with the release of his new boo, Theft by Finding: Diaries 1977-2002! Tickets are available at the official source to purchase Wharton Center tickets online, whartcenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON. 

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humomr writers. The great skill with which he slices thorugh cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. 

Devid Sedaris is the author of Barrel Fever and Holidays on Ice, as well as collections of personal essays: Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and his most recent book, Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls, each of which became an immediate bestseller. The audio version of Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls is a 56th Annual Grammy Awards nominee for Best Spoken World Album. He is the author of the NYT-bestselling collection of fables entitled Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (with illustrations by Ian Falconer). He was also the editor of Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules: An Anthology of Outstanding Stories. Sedaris pieces appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in The Best American Essays. There are over ten million copies of his books in print, and they have been translated into 20 languages.
