Headliner – Will Durst
As the sacred cows routinely paint targets on their foreheads practically begging for someone to puncture their pomposity, America cries out for a man with the aim, strength, and style to hit them where it hurts the funniest. Will Durst is that man. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense, Durst transcends party ties, having performed at events honoring former Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush as well as acclaimed appearances at both a Mayors Convention and Governors Conference.
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.
Although a prolific writer, he professes little need for material, having it regularly delivered at 7:00 a.m. every morning in the five papers he reads daily. Busier than a blind squirrel neck deep in an almond sorting warehouse, 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!
Featuring – Mari as Sarah Palin
Mari Magaloni is a member of Comedy Noir, a sketch comedy troupe which has been featured 2 years in a row at the San Francisco Sketch Comedy Festival and was one of only 2 sketch comedy troupes to be featured at the recent Vancouver Comedy Festival. In addition to impersonating Sarah Palin in the troupe's Obama Roast, Mari plays Joan Rivers in their Hitler Roast and the Virgin Mary in the Jesus Roast.
Mari studied comedy with Obie Award winning Stephen Rosenfield at the American Comedy Institute in NYC. She is also an actress and graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and was a member of the third year AADA Company players. She also studied the "Method" technique of acting with William Esper in NYC.
Mari is also a stand up comic and is to date the only woman to have won the Rooster T. Feather's Comedy Competition in Sunnyvale, CA. She can be seen at private events and in comedy clubs all over the country.
Host – Eric Hunter
Eric has been performing comedy since the age of 6, when he got his very first laugh at a family picnic. His grandmother scolded him for not eating all of his dinner. “You know there are starving children in third world countries who would love to eat that,” she said. “Well, here, send it to them,” came his reply and upon hearing his cousins’ laughter, he knew comedy was the life for him!
Eric now performs non-stop around the country leaving his mark as a clean, funny, bright, friendly and original performer. He jokes sarcastically about various topics, including his friends and Irish Catholic family, education, sports and relationships. He’s best known for his hilarious, deadpan attempt to impress the women in the audience.
Eric has made multiple appearances on the nationally syndicated “Bob and Tom” radio show and on their WGN television show. You can also hear him on SiriusXM satellite radio, but be sure to catch him live with Tahoe Comedy North!
