Tahoe Comedy North presents Will Durst April 16, 2011

CELBRATING THE END OF TAX SEASON, TAHOE COMEDY NORTH PRESENTS: TAX RELIEF COMEDY in SARATOGA and SANTA CRUZ! Tahoe Comedy North celebrates the end of tax season by bringing tax-relief political comedy to the Saratoga Civic Theatre in Saratoga, CA on April 15th and to Kuumbwa Jazz in Santa Cruz, CA on April 16th. Doors open at 7:00 and show starts at 8:00.
Amazing political satirist Will Durst will be your headliner for the weekend. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense, Durst transcends party ties, having performed at events honoring former Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush as well as acclaimed appearances at both a Mayors Convention and Governors Conference. Outraged and outrageous, Durst is as current as today’s headlines, as accurate as a sniper, and universally acknowledged by even his peers as the nation’s foremost political comic. Joining Will is our featured comedian, Mari Esther Kaplan. Mari is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and has trained with William Esper and with Obie Award winning Stephen Rosenfield at the American Comedy Institute in NYC. She adds wonderful dimension to her act by seamlessly zipping between character work and good old fashioned comic story telling. Joining Will and Mari as your host for the evening is comedian Kurt Weitzmann performing as Glenn Beck. Kurt began performing stand up at the infamous Holy City Zoo, a dark and wonderful place. His act has been seen on Comedy central and MTV and more recently at The Vancouver Comedy Festival and at San Francisco Sketchfest.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the show and are available online at www.tahoecomedynorth and at Street Light Records in San Jose and Santa Cruz, Logos Books & Records in Santa Cruz and The Retreat Nails in Saratoga, CA.
