Will Durst Comedian from San Francisco, CA

Will Durst is an award winning political comedian whose unique bipartisan humor has resulted in acclaimed performances before 3 presidents, a Governors' Convention and a Mayors' Conference. This former radio talk host, oyster shucker, and margarine smuggler (3 of his 108 jobs) writes a weekly nationally syndicated humor column and has been called by the New York Times, "quite possibly the best political comic working in America today." He is the author of "The All American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing" from Ulysses Press, taken directly from his heralded Off- Broadway one man show. A cross between a living editorial cartoon and a stand up journalist, Durst cut his teeth at the National Lampoon & George Magazines, Air America and HBO and makes semi- regular appearances on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News. He has been nominated for an Emmy 5 times, the American Comedy Award Best Male Stand- Up of the Year 7 times, has told jokes in 16 countries; released 5 CDs and 3 books; and his 1000+ television appearances include Letterman, Showtime, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, Comedy Central, the BBC and many many more. With an ability to customize his sets, he has become a favorite of corporate event coordinators all over the country, and his understanding that the truth is a slippery thing has made him a favorite of lawyers, but don't hold that against him. His motto is "You Can't Make Stuff Up Like This." Durst's performances are made possible by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
