The Marsh presents Vital Signs, Alison Whittaker's honest and funny portrayal of working life in a modern hospital in the diverse community of San Francisco. Whittaker is frank and unflinching about the tragedies, but also reveals the comedy inherent in an environment where lives can be lost or restored on a regular basis. Whittaker plays nearly two dozen characters, including nurses, doctors, patients and their families as they all attempt, in their own way, to cope with the stark realities of their situations.

Written on Nov 07 2012Enjoyed the show and it was exciting to be there when the announcement came that Obama had won. However, I had been at his show at the JCC the previous Saturday and it was almost word for word the same jokes. I had hoped he would come up with new material for his final "Elect to Laugh" show.

Written on Oct 23 2012Will Durst takes on politics and sanity in general. He's the funniest guy in town and a treat for all ages. My 20 year old son didn't get all the references, but he still laughed until his sides hurt. And my 75 year old mother laughed even harder.
Don't ever miss a chance to see Will in person.

Written on Oct 10 2012Hysterically funny look at what's going on in the political arena. As Durst said,like the Olympics, he's in-demand every 4 years. Don't miss this go round.
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.
