POLITICAL HUMORIST DURST TAKES ON THREE COUNTIES IN PRE-ELECTION ASSAULT ­NAPA, BENICIA AND DAVIS IN STAND-UP COMIC¹S CAMPAIGN CROSS-HAIRS

Every show, Will Durst is funny. But, every four years, he's unstoppable.

And 2008 couldn't be better for the stand-up political comic following the ongoing foibles of both parties as he delivers his knockout punch lines on Thursday, July 24, at the DMTC Hoblit Performing Arts Center in Davis.

Durst's "All American Sport of Bi-Partisan Bashing" benefits the Napa County Democratic Central Committee and Democrats of Napa Valley, while his show in Benicia is a fundraiser for Reach Out Benicia, a nonprofit that helps young people with substance abuse problems.

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.

Though Durst won't say who he supports for president, he said George W. Bush was prime rib for comedic carnivores. "People like the President because he seems like a guy you could have a beer with," Durst said. "But now, it's time to take away the car keys."

Opening in Benicia and Davis for Durst is blues guitarist and singer Alvon Johnson of Vallejo.

Will Durst will sell and sign his book, "The All-American Sport of Bi-Partisan Bashing" after each show.
