Comedy: Will Durst in Elect to Laugh 2016. Oct. 8, 2016. 8pm
Event Will Durst in Elect to Laugh 2016 Dates/Times October 8, 2016 @ 8PM Description ELECT TO LAUGH with Will Durst 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 is out to prove that jokes are not the enemy. With descendants of Mark Twain, George Carlin, and Spalding Gray, Durst will 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.

Marina
Pittsburg’s beautifully renovated Marina is home to the yacht club, boat brokers, dining, and a free public boat launch. Drop by for a lovely stroll dockside, and enjoy stunning views of the Delta, and surrounding hills covered in gracefully turning windmills. Our 575 slip municipal marina is located at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Often called the “Gateway to the Delta”, this strategic location offers boaters easy access to the upper delta region and the San Francisco Bay. Just a few yards from open water, the Pittsburg Marina offers a quick getaway as well as a safe haven for those caught in the perennial delta winds, and rough water.
