“He bowed his head slightly. ‘We dress to serve you, my Prince’. And that was that. My decision made.”

Vegan tour managers, hotels, coffee shops and British children all get the Sedaris treatment in the final instalment for this series. With a big decision to be mulled over, David weighs up some of the differences he's found between the USA and the UK and works them into a new essay, "Sweet Land of Liberty". The show closes with a hilarious extract from his diaries about two teenagers and their virtue-signalling mother.
