Will Durst: Contrarian Extraordinaire

Will Durst, contrarian extraordinaire, will perform his witty political satire show, at the Showcase Theater, Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, California on Thursday, October 20th at 8 pm.  Proceeds from the show will benefit Fair Housing of Marin’s counseling and education programs. This San Francisco-based, cartoonist-in-words is an equal opportunity offender who is exceptionally adept at swatting both blue and red politicos and issues.  Durst transcends party ties, having performed at events honoring former Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush. The New York Times has referred to him as “Quite possibly the best political satirist in the country today.”  The San Francisco Chronicle has commented that “Will Durst has gotten so good, it’s scary.” Durst regularly writes a nationally syndicated op-ed column: commentator for CNN, NPR, Air America, and audible.com;  has gotten rave reviews for his off-Broadway one man show, “The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing”, not to mention his occasional acting roles. And, he still finds time to perform hundreds of comedy shows every year!This promises to be a hilarious, and thought-provoking evening.  Guests will have an opportunity to meet Will after the show.

Ticket prices are reserved seating, plus a pre-show reception including hors d’oeuvres and wine from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., are $80.   Tickets for general admission are $40.  There will be a $5 discount on tickets purchased by September 30th.
