Bio

The Dark Prince of "Doubt," and the nation's premiere political comic, Will Durst, holds performances made possible by the First Amendment.

The verdict is in (that was quick) "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 smart-ass. 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 was 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.
