About
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. A Midwestern baby boomer with a media-induced identity crisis, Durst, according to the New York Times is "quite possibly the best political satirist working in the country today." This equal opportunity offender is exceptionally adept at swatting both partisan political piñatas upside their heads. Durst is a regular commentator for audible.com, Air America, CNN and NPR, writes a nationally syndicated op- ed column, daily website jokes—yet still finds time to perform hundreds of comedy shows every year—at clubs, corporate events, theaters and benefits...not to mention the occasional acting and voice-over role. Reigning as C-SPAN's favorite comic (8 appearances,) Durst is a 5-time Emmy nominee and recipient of 7 consecutive nominations 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 and the first American to be nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the show "Myth America." He has racked up more than 400 television appearances in 14 different countries while slinging jokes around the globe in his one man crusade to make people laugh out loud on purpose against their will. Hobbies include the never-ending quest for the perfect cheeseburger while his heroes remain the same as when he was twelve—Thomas Jefferson and Bugs Bunny. Will Durst's performances are made possible by the First Amendment.

by Meishy on 11/10/16Punch Line Comedy Club - San Francisco - San FranciscoFive minutes of stand-up from four comedians. The rest of the night they sat on a panel, leafed through the ballots and talked politics amongst themselves. The whole point of going out was to have a few laughs and get away from all the televised bickering about the candidates. We left mid-show.

by HappyFan43016 on 5/4/16Punch Line Comedy Club - San Francisco - San FranciscoI've seen Will Durst many times over the years but the Saturday night show at the Punchline was the best ever. I was laughing so hard throughout his act that I developed a sore throat. My friends said they had sore mouths from laughing . It was well worth it. I just loved the show.

by OPearlihy on 5/4/16Punch Line Comedy Club - San Francisco - San FranciscoThis man is so smart and so topical - he had commentary on events of the day! He is a more energetic and funnier version of Bill Maher.

by Deanbo on 11/22/10McMenamins Bagdad Theater - PortlandWill Durst is a complex and literate comedian. This is not lazy comedy with cheap shots and easy wit. Durst works at writing intelligent and thoughtful commentary on current events and takes no prisoners - left or right. His delivery is lively and amazing. There were at least three instances of rants with word combinations and allusions that had to key off one another sequentially and in the rhythm that helped build the hilarity. He was flawless in his execution of these.
