Will Durst
"The Lieutenant Governor From The State of Confusion"
February 1 / 8pm / $25
Will Durst -- sworn enemy to tyrants, foreign and domestic -- has managed to patch together a half way decent quilt of a comedy career via syndicated columns, radio and television commentaries, stand-up comedy, stage and screen acting, talk show hosting, voice- overs and now the book. Nominated for 5 Emmys and 7 nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand up of the Year, he has yet to win anything. Even a toaster for crum's sake. He's performed in 14 different countries, garnered 500+ television appearances including regular current stints on CNN & Fox News, has performed for 3 elected Presidents, a bunch of governors and once made Bill Clinton laugh so hard he spit water through his nose, which durst still considers the highlight of his career.
