For the 26th consecutive year, Will Durst and his merry band of pranksters take their witty and hilarious end-of-the-year comedy extravaganza to the Firehouse Arts Center Theater on Thursday, December 27, at 8:00 p.m.. The 26th annual BFYEKO Comedy Show features a riotous collection of skits, songs, sketches, and stand-up. They promise to lampoon, satirize, mock, scoff, scorn, taunt, tease, rib and ridicule the people and events of the past year and do it with a modicum of taste and decorum. And sometimes not. (Please note: PG-13). "It's Saturday Night Live meets The Daily Show on steroids," notes one reviewer.
The Big Fat Year-End Kiss-Off Comedy Show consists of 6 comics: Will Durst (willdurst.com), Johnny Steele (johnnysteele.com), Debi Durst, Michael Bossier, Mari Magaloni, and last, but not least, the beguiling Arthur Gaus, Esq.
The New York Times calls Will Durst "quite possibly the best political comedian working in the country today." Dubbed "the Thinking Man's Comic" by the Oregonian, Durst is acknowledged by peers and press alike as one of the premier political satirists in the country. He has patched together an incomparable comedy quilt of a career, weaving together columns, books, radio and television commentaries, acting, voice-overs and stand-up into a patchwork of outraged and outrageous common sense. Durst has told jokes in 14 countries, racked up 800+ television appearances, released 5 CDs, authored 3 books, and despite blistering reproach, continues to squeeze ketchup on his hot dog.
