David Sedaris at Raising Canes River Center Theatre

David Sedaris

David Sedaris is a Grammy Award-nominated humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor. Much of his humor is drawn from his unconventional North Carolina upbringing, his varied stream of odd-jobs (Christmas elf at Macy's, anyone?) and plays to his self-deprecating strengths, and now often concerns his life today in France with his partner.

Nurse Blake at Raising Canes River Center Theatre

He has also been the pioneer of campaigns including 'Nurses Support Their Young' and 'Banned4Life' which challenged the FDA blood donor policy that excluded gay and bisexual individuals.
