Acknowledged by peers and press alike as one of the premier political satirists in the country, Will Durst has patched together a comedy quilt of a career, weaving together columns, books, radio and television commentaries, acting, voice overs and most especially, stand up comedy, into a hilarious patchwork of outraged and outrageous common sense. His abiding motto is “You can’t make stuff up like this." The New York Times calls him "possibly the best political comic in the country." Fox News agrees "he's a great political satirist," while the Oregonian hails him as a “hilarious stand-up journalist.” This former radio talk host, oyster shucker, and margarine smuggler currently writes a nationally syndicated humor column, and his scribblings have appeared in Esquire, George, the San Francisco Chronicle, National Lampoon, The New York Times and scads of other periodicals.
Spring is in the air!
Hello everyone! Debi Durst here with your latest Will Durst update. I can't believe it's been 17 months since Will's stroke. He continues to improve, albeit slowly. .
.
.
Thanks to your generous donations, I have been able to get a stair lift installed in our home. I haven't yet tackled the bathroom upgrades, but that will happen soon. Will remains safely ensconced in his assisted living facility and your donations have helped pay for his room rental, equipment, medical services and prescribed medications. I very much look forward to the day when Will can return home; hopefully it will be this summer.
.
I am doing research for any in-home services he may need going forward once that happens.
.
Will has had both Covid vaccination shots and I am thrilled about that.
.
We are both so thankful of the love and support everyone has given to the both of us during this trying time. Recovering from a stroke is arduous to say the least; throw in a pandemic and the degree of difficulty goes up tenfold.
.
Throughout it all Will and I have maintained our rosy outlook for the future and most importantly our sense of humor.
.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your generous love and support.
.
Will wants everyone to know he's got ideas for at least two new one man shows and can't wait to perform again--once the World opens up for business.
.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Wash your hands. Wear your masks.
xoxo Debi & Will
Coming to a Theatre near you! Will Durst’s acclaimed tribute to the history, growth, joys, achievements, frustrations, fashions and looming doom of the Baby Boom Generation. Ably assisted by his trusty overhead projector, Durst explores the Boomers’ revolutions, evolutions and still vibrant role in today’s youth-obsessed society, which they invented, for crum’s sake. It’s a celebration of the maturation of the Boomer Nation and as an extra, added, special treat- the Meaning of Life.
Special Note: Due to the graphic nature and startlingly archaic technology, children under the age of 40 will not
be admitted unless accompanied by a guardian or bring a note.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
