David Raymond Sedaris (born December 26, 1956) is an American humorist, comedian, author, and radio contributor.

His next five essay collections, ''Naked'' (1997), ''Holidays on Ice'' (1997), ''Me Talk Pretty One Day'' (2000), ''Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim'' (2004), and ''When You Are Engulfed in Flames'' (2008), became ''New York Times'' Best Sellers.〔("Best Sellers: April 6, 1997" ), ''The New York Times'', April 6, 1997.

Much of Sedaris' humor is ostensibly autobiographical and self-deprecating, and often concerns his family life, his middle-class upbringing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina, his Greek heritage, homosexuality, jobs, education, drug use, and obsessive behaviors, and his life in France, London, and the English South Downs.
