About Will Durst
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.

Holy City Zoo
The Holy City Zoo Logo
The comedy shows at the Holy City Zoo were started in spring 1975 by Darryl Victor Dubin as a fill-in between the sets of a belly-dancer performing. Shortly afterwards, the Holy City Zoo started featuring comedy Sunday nights. Tony DePaul, a local comedian, took over production and under his direction, the comedy shows were expanded to seven nights a week. In June 1980, John Cantu took over production of the stand-up shows. As the longest running club in Northern California, the Holy City Zoo has been responsible for the development of more major comedy acts than just about any other club in the country.
