Political satirist and pundit Will Durst will head off-Broadway this summer in a new one-man show, The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing. Directed by Eric Krebs, the show will begin previews on August 6 and open on August 15 at New World Stages.
Durst describes The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing as "a 90-minute political comedy for people who are sick of politics as usual. We laugh to keep from crying, right? And with a president, two houses of Congress and endless parade of presidential hopefuls making daily punch lines out of headlines, I've got the best joke-writers in the business working for me."
Based in San Francisco, Durst has been a political satirist for 30 years and has made more than 400 television appearances, including Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Crossfire, CNN, Fox News, Comedy Central, Good Morning America, Last Comic Standing, C-SPAN, The Today Show, The Late Show With David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has been nominated for five Emmy Awards and was the recipient of seven consecutive nominations for
American Comedy Awards "Stand Up of the Year." Most recently he was the co-host with Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, on the morning drive time show on San Francisco's KQKE radio.
