Hilarious!

Episode one was even funnier, but this one is superb. I've never heard of David Sedaris, anyone?

He is indeed hilarious. I will
dig around for some links for you. I have been listening to his stuff fir over ten years.

Here are a couple of links to a great, great, radio show called "This American Life". The show has a theme then usually presents three or four stories based on that theme. These show have David Sedaris in a t least one of the stories.

I can't recommend this show high enough. I think you'll like it, even when Sedaris is not on it. Sometimes the show is funny, sometimes serious, but always interesting.

Sedaris Episodes (just a couple of my favourites).

I don't know if they will all translate across the pond because some of the stories might be complicated by subtleties of Americana that only a resident would get but most of it is just universal humanity.

Hope you enjoy.
