Will Durst: As the sacred cows routinely paint targets on their foreheads practically begging for someone to puncture their pomposity, America cries out for a man with the aim, strength, and style to hit them where it hurts the funniest. Will Durst is that man. Sweeping both sides of the aisle with a quiver full of arrows dipped in common sense, Durst transcends party ties, having performed at events honoring former Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush as well as acclaimed appearances at both a Mayors Convention and Governors Conference.

Outraged and outrageous, Durst is as current as today's headlines, as accurate as a sniper, and universally acknowledged by even his peers as the nation's foremost political comic.

A Midwestern baby boomer with a media- induced identity crisis, Durst, according to the New York Times is “quite possibly the best political satirist working in the country today.” This equal opportunity offender is exceptionally adept at swatting both partisan political pinatas upside their heads.

Reigning as C-SPAN's favorite comic (8 appearances,) Durst is a 5-time Emmy nominee and recipient of 7 consecutive nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year. He is the first comic invited to perform at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and the first American to be nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the show “Myth America.” He has racked up more than 400 television appearances in 14 different countries while slinging jokes around the globe in his one man crusade to make people laugh out loud on purpose against their will.

Kabir Singh (Kabeezy): Kabir "Kabeezy" Singh is one of the fastest rising Stand-Up Comedians in the USA headlining nights at some of the most famous clubs in California including the Hollywood Improv, Hollywood Laugh Factory, Long Beach Laugh Factory, SF Punchline, SF Cobbs, and selling out many other clubs all over America. Kabir has also opened and shared the stage with some of the biggest Stand-Up Comedians in the world including Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Bill Burr, Russell Peters and has also been seen touring on the "BFF" Tour with Jo Koy and Anjelah Johnson.

Kabir's highly anticipated tour all through Europe and India kicked off in September, 2012 and has included seven sold out shows in the U.K. including Glasgow, Birmingham and six shows in Bombay, India with more to come.

Kabir has been called "The Next Big Indian Comedian" by India West, and has been called "One of the must see Stand-Up Comedians in the U.S." by TV Asia. Kabir's energy, in-your-face attitude mixed with clever material and the love to please and crowd anywhere has grown him a monster fan base in a few short years, and is a must see any chance you get!

David Van Avermaete: As a 58 year old former president of a $1B fortune 500 company, ex-PGA golf Professional with 4 kids (including a six year old) and 2 wives (one former, one current), David’s act draws from a wealth of personal and professional experience. With material that ranges from the politics of the boardroom to the mysteries of the diaper genie his routine appeals to a wide range of audiences. Intelligent, edgy, contemporary, quick, cynical and smart are all adjectives used to describe his comedy style. David is a graduate of the San Francisco Comedy College (SFCC) and a member of the Stand-Up Project Performance troupe. He performs regularly in comedy clubs, bars and showcases around the San Francisco Bay including The Improv in San Jose, Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale and Tommy T's in Pleasanton.

David was runner-up in the prestigious 2007 San Francisco International Comedy Competition, a competition that has launched the careers of such famous comedians as Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Kevin Pollak, Ellen Degeneres, Mark Currey, and Dane Cook (who, by the way all finished second too). David also won the 2007 Tommy T’s Comedy Competition and the 2006 Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Competition besting 100 comedians for each title. He was also a finalist in the Improv’s 2004, 2005 and 2007 Comedy Competitions. More recently David won the the 2009 San Francisco Love & Laughter Competition. He has featured for Richard Lewis, Christopher Titus, Bobby Collins, Will Durst and Tom Rhodes and was invited to audition for both HBO and the David Letterman Show.

Arthur Gaus: The comedy of Arthur Gaus is a study in contradictions. His perspective is both youthful and cynical. His material is feather-light as frequently as it is dark and nihilistic. Will Durst, who Arthur recently toured with, thinks he's a great fit for the Live at the Orinda audience. His delivery seamlessly moves from machine-gun staccato punch lines to artfully told stories to richly crafted characters. One moment he will stand on the edge of the stage defiantly and dynamically telling the audience precisely what he wants them to see, the next he will silently retreat to the microphone stand, allowing the audience to unearth subtleties for themselves. Nonetheless, while many descriptions do not fit Arthur's act precisely, the most important ones do: funny, sharp and unique.
