Kurt Bodden's Steve Seabrook: Better Than You at The Marsh
- Full Price:
- $15.00
- Our Price:
- $7.50
Veteran comedian Kurt Bodden assumes the role of master motivator Steve Seabrook at The Marsh. In this hilarious parody, which was a hit at the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival, Bodden plays a joyously inane self-help guru who takes you to a safe, nurturing place of empowerment to figure out why you are so disappointing. Steve Seabrook doesn't want you to change, he wants you to blossom into a You that's "Better Than You." A veteran comedian and actor, Bodden has trained in sketch comedy at The Groundlings, warmed up audiences for The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and performed improv at the Edinburgh Fringe.

view more less of this reviewWill Durst is as funny and insightful as ever.
Most of his act was brand new, as it mainly focused on the current candidates, though some of the material was recycled (but still very funny).
star this review starred report as inappropriateNonstop biting and intelligent quips and rants. Great audience rapport.
Many good restaurants within a block.
star this review starred report as inappropriatewill durst is such a good comedian, he could make anything funny. My friend and I admitted that we had been paying little attention to politics ( it gets worse and worse.) and we were both afraid it would be over our heads. will makes it accessible, somehow, and politics is easy to laugh about or to crawl out the door and down the stairs over. durst just makes you laugh. we both liked it aLOT>
star this review starred report as inappropriateEnjoyed the evening with Durst. He is always spot on and good for a rollicking good time filled with laughter. Great insight into political shenanigans and our current candidates for office...SCARY!!!!
The Marsh is in a terrific location. Great little restaurants to visit before or after the show, many within 2 blocks of The Marsh. Parking is difficult.
More Information About Will Durst's Elect to Laugh
Description
Elect To Laugh with Will Durst and Friends! is a hysterical hybrid chasing down the presidential election cycle like white on rice with material as up to date as the latest tweet from DC. It will blend monologues and commentary and perhaps the occasional rant. The show’s intent is to blur the traditional boundaries between stand- up comedy and theater. Through innovation, experimentation and a ravenous appetite for accessing the topical via the jugular, Durst and Company are out to prove that jokes are not the enemy.
Descendants of Mark Twain, George Carlin and Spalding Gray, Durst and his rotating cast will every Tuesday twist the rhythm of stand-up with poetry, punditry and puzzles o’plenty planting the production solidly in the strictures and structures of a deconstructed one man show. Or solo performance piece. Whatever. With a single aim: to mock and scoff and taunt, but with taste. Consider it political comedy for people who don’t like politics.
The show runs approximately 90 minutes, and is recommended for ages 18 and up.
