Bestselling humorist Sedaris loves to test out new material on twice-a-year reading trips to find the rhythm and phrasing perfected before he puts them straight down on the web page. This live recording of his sold-out October 22, 2002, reading at Manhattan’s Carnegie Hall discovers Sedaris carrying out debuting new stories, all captured in this audiobook. They include a parrot who mimics an ice maker, enthusiasts quarrelling over a rubber hands, and a Santa Claus who moonlights from his job as bishop of Turkey.
