Midterm madness: the Durst case scenario

An election is like fresh meat to Will Durst, San Francisco comic and political satirist. A self-described “raging moderate,” Durst – rant-maker, author, columnist, provocateur – will be in his element putting the mock into Democracy.

His 7 p.m. rant is “political comedy for folks who don’t like politics.” He says it’s “made possible by the first amendment… at least for now. See it before this sort of thing becomes illegal.”

Durst can’t take all the credit for his success. He says he has the best joke writers in the business: Trump, Trump’s hair and the “535 hard-working satirists in Congress.”

Due to the subversive nature of the show, Durst says, a portion of each ticket “will be donated to fund a nonprofit whose mission will be to bury wire cutters along the Canadian border.”

Thursday, October 25. $25. 7:30 p.m. Sebastiani Theatre.
