"Then it's time for Stephen Santa to fly solo. Acting out "The SantaLand Diaries," he wins over the audience with his height, the sight of his long legs tucked into candy cane-patterned tights, his display of the "jazz hands" gesture and his skill in combining wryness with Jiminy Cricket gusto. At 6-foot-1, he's the tallest Christmas elf in captivity and the most acerbic."
"Sedaris tells a "There but for the grace of God go I" story, but Santa's agility and lightheartedness in the role are endearing and, strangely enough, inspiring." -The Observer Reporter
