Fresh from the triumph of his acclaimed one- man Off Broadway show, "The All American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing," political comedian Will Durst is back with his quiver chock full of fresh topical barbs. "The Lieutenant Governor from the State of Confusion" is a voyage into the human condition, making fun of politics and politicians of all parties. But while he mocks and scoffs and taunts, he does do it with taste.

And while a new administration may mean a new direction for the country, its also fresh ammunition for Durst in his first show since turning "The All American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing" into a book by the same name. In addition to his extensive comedy career, he also writes syndicated columns, radio and television commentaries, appears on CNN, C-SPAN and NPR, and indulges in stage and screen acting, talk show hosting, and voice-overs.

A Midwestern baby boomer (Wisconsin), Durst grew up in a house where everyone read at least 3 newspapers a day. He now reads 5. Durst began his political comedy routine while a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee by creating a comedy club as a performance piece in a theater class. He moved to San Francisco a few years later and immediately found audiences and work. According to the New York Times, he is "quite possibly the best political satirist working in the country today." He is a 5-time Emmy nominee and 7-time nominee for the American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year. He is the first comic invited to perform at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
