WILL 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. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense.
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.
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.
Will Durst’s performances are made possible by the First Amendment.

DAVE POKORNY Not long ago, in a galaxy far far away, Dave Pokorny was one of the most sought after opening acts in comedy.  As the house emcee at the number one comedy club in San Francisco and a regular on the Las Vegas Strip he opened for such major stars as Ellen DeGeneres, Jim Carrey and Bob Saget.  After a few television spots on ABC and MTV he was on his way.  
However, a decade on the road as a stand-up comic took its toll and when his first (of two) daughters was born he no longer wanted to be away from home. Pokorny left the funny biz for the glamorous world of parenthood. With that first child about to enter high school, and realizing that his desire to be on stage was still there, he joined Toastmasters International and after winning three international humorous speech competitions he decided to begin work on his long overdue solo performance piece. An autobiographical monologue that tells of his years as a stand-up entitled, “Based On A True Story.”
