8:00pm | $25Town Hall Theatre is proud to present the combined comedic forces of Johnny Steele & Will Durst. Steele & Durst have previously performed at Town Hall, but this is the first joint appearance of these comedic powerhouses and each will not only be performing an extended headliner set, but the two will team up for an exclusive Q & A after the show. Expect many wacky zany antics to spontaneously generate.
Pittsburg native Johnny Steele began performing comedy in 1984 after quitting graduate school in a move his parents referred to as: “Operation $40K Down The Drain.” This St. Mary’s alum has gone on to perform comedy at clubs, festivals, competitions, on national TV, corporate gigs and various Knights of Columbus dinners. Along the way, Johnny found time to host Live 105’s Morning Radio Show and KRON/Bay TV’s THE SHOW. One third of the titular characters in the “3 Still Standing” documentary, Johnny is currently touring the country as well as working on a number of web, radio, and TV projects. He is also working on a one- man show about his journey to find peace in a world gone mad, but described as the new normal.
Acknowledged by peers and press alike as one of the premier political comedians in the country, Will Durst has patched together a quilt of a comedy career, weaving together columns, books, commentaries, acting, voice- overs and stand up comedy into a patchwork of outraged and outrageous common sense. He writes a nationally syndicated humor column, is a 5 time Emmy nominee; has been fired by the San Francisco Examiner twice, PBS three times; told jokes in 16 countries and his 800+ television appearances include Letterman, HBO, Showtime, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and the BBC. His new one- man show: “BoomeRaging: From LSD to OMG,” is currently appearing at theaters and festivals nationally and internationally. Durst’s performances are made possible by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the US.
