David Sedaris Kansas City Concert reviews
Disappointed in David Sedaris
I was not prepared for the David Sedaris show evidently...the excessive "potty mouth" approach to humor brought me back to my years as an elementary school teacher dealing with third graders who howl at such topics. In short, I didn't find the time spent by David Sedaris reading on and on about bodily functions and continuing about curse words from other cultures interesting or enlightening. What I thought was going to be a "performance" was actually a book tour pretending to be a performance. I certainly don't mind performers/writers/artists selling their material, but then spending an hour and a half reading from it is not what I call a performance. Having another author read his praises about David Sedaris at the start of the show was also directed to selling books...not what I expect from an Art Power show.
I expect more of the UCSD Art Power shows--cutting edge, professional artistic experiences.
