His many accolades include an Audie Award, a BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Stand Up or Sketch Comedy and five Grammy nominations for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. The New York Public Library voted his 2000 book, Me Talk Pretty One Day, as one of the 125 most important books of the last 125 years. From the book: “Everyday we’re told that we live in the greatest country on Earth. And it’s always stated as an undeniable fact… Having grown up with this in our ears, it’s startling to realize that other countries have nationalistic slogans of their own, none of which are ‘We’re number two!’” He brings his incisive humor to the Sunset Cultural Center.
