Fresh from the national tour of his award- nominated, hilarious chronicle of the action packed 2016 election, “Elect to Laugh,” comedian, columnist, actor, author, former oyster shucker, Will Durst, presents his new solo outing “Durst Case Scenario,” a comedic exploration of how America is changing during the Time of Trump. DCS is a rollicking feast of satire as up- to- date as the latest 4 am POTUS tweet.

In this lightning- paced, comedic tour- de- force, Durst, described by the New York Times as “possibly the best political comic working today,” analyzes where we are, how we got here and what possible destinations lie ahead. Along with detailing the changes we’re experiencing, he also recounts the wacky zany antics, palace intrigues and pitfalls of polarization threatening our country in this, The New Abnormal.
