1. That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard
topped only by his bit on how he imitated Billy Holliday as a kid, illustrated by his take on Billi Holliday doing the Oscar Meyer Weiner song --> must be heard to be believed.

2. His Billy Holiday is total fab
He really does sound like her. :D

I could listen to David Sedaris recite the phone book and I think I'd laugh.

3. Aargh, I'm missing it.
"The Santaland Diaries" is one of THE funniest things I've ever heard. It has special resonance if you've ever worked retail, especially during the holiday season. "I'm going to have you fired," says a customer to David Sedaris, who is dressed as an elf for Macy's Santaland. Sedaris contemplates leaning in close to the customer and muttering, "I'm going to have you killed." :rofl:
