Will Durst October 24, 2006

The Dark Prince of Doubt and the nation's premiere political comic, Will Durst, holds court at the DC Improv October 24th through October 29th.

The verdict is in: "A modern day Will Rogers," says the L.A. Times. The S.F. Examiner argues he's "the heir apparent to Mort Sahl and Dick Gregory." The Chicago Tribune hails Durst as a "hysterical hybrid of Hunter S.Thompson and Charles Osgood." But all agree Durst is an equal opportunity offender and a bi-partisan smartass. Durst claims he gets his material delivered to him every morning in the form of six different newspapers. "All I do is edit...and precious little of that."

Durst has been nominated for Comedian of the year seven times. He writes a daily internet column and is a frequent contributor to "George" magazine. He ran for mayor of San Francisco once and came in fourth out of eleven candidates. Internationally, Durst was the first American nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Theater Festival for his one man show "Duck and Cover" He cites his heroes as Thomas Jefferson and Bugs Bunny.
