| Info | William Tell Bruce John Henry Durst Jr. grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but moved to San Francisco because "comedy is illegal in Milwaukee." This self-described "blue collar comic" held over 100 jobs before finally earning a living making people laugh out loud on purpose. Will Durst ran for Major of San Francisco, came in 4th out of 11, spend $1,200 and got 2% of the vote: so on a dollar per vote basis, he is mayor of San Francisco.
Will Durst writes a daily column for the Internet and is a monthly columnist for both "The Nose" and "Just for Laughs" magazines. Host of the award winning PBS series "We Do The Work" he's appeared on every cable comedy show featuring a brick wall, including Letterman. Durst taped a "One Night Stand" for HBO, and his A&E's "A Year's Worth with Will Durst" was nominated for a Cable Ace Award. Will Durst also has been nominated 5 times for the Ameircan Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year, but still hasn't won, making him the Susan Lucci of stand up. Hobbies include the never-ending search for the perfect cheeseburger, and his heroes are the same as when he was twelve: Thomas Jefferson and Bugs Bunny.
"His performances are made possible by the first amendment!"
