From award-winning humorist, playwright and National Public Radio commentator David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, When You Are Engulfed In Flames), this comic monologue bursting with unconventional holiday humour is adapted from the author’s best-selling Holidays on Ice.

A young man arrives in New York with dreams of being a writer for One Life to Live and instead lands a part-time job as a Macy’s Christmas elf named Crumpet. From humiliating interview to elf indoctrination to scrapes with miscast Santas and obnoxious customers the author’s real-life experiences, detailed in The SantaLand Diaries, are merrily subversive and fall-on-your-knees funny.
