Get ready for the best night of the season! ‘Cause David Sedaris, the very ironically funniest guy in the room, is coming to the stage this Autumn right here at Orpheum Theatre for all of us to enjoy - and guess what! We saved you a ticket! A spot right here in the front row!

Us here at Minneapolis’ stunning Orpheum Theatre are proud to welcome the one and only David Sedaris to the stage on Monday October 20 as part of his wildly anticipated 2025 Live on Tour Series that’s taking David across North America to Europe and back for all those who love to laugh and all those who love comedy. Known for his razor-sharp wit, brilliant observational humor, and unmistakable voice on the page and the big stage, Sedaris returns for another unforgettable evening — part book reading, part stand-up, part group therapy, and all heart. And all right here for us to enjoy at Orpheum Theatre this October.
A true master of storytelling, David’s rise began humbly with NPR’s This American Life back in the 90s, where his 1992 holiday classic The Santaland Diaries launched him from radio talk show obscurity to literary icon status. Since then, he’s written over a dozen bestselling books, including Me Talk Pretty One Day, Calypso, and most recently Happy-Go-Lucky — each balancing the absurdity of everyday life with devastating insight and that unmistakable deadpan charm. And over the years, Sedaris has become a beloved voice not only in American humor but across the global stage. He’s sold out theaters from New York to Berlin, read for royalty, been awarded the Thurber Prize for American Humor, and been nominated for Grammy Awards for his audiobook performances. He’s also a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, where his essays have become staples for readers craving that perfectly timed punchline buried in an anecdote about a French dentist, a Costco run, or family chaos in North Carolina.
Now, as part of this sprawling 2025 tour, Sedaris lands in the Twin Cities for one night only — bringing all-new readings, audience Q&A, and that unforgettable stage presence that makes him more than just a writer. This is an evening for fans new and old, and a rare chance to hear stories straight from the source in one of Minneapolis’ most iconic venues. And - to come for some gut wrenching laughs along the way too, of course!
So, come laugh, come cry, and come ready to think a little harder about the weirdness of life in America in 2025. And get your tickets now, y’all! And we’ll see you right here, front row and scribbling notes right along with you.
