Durst’s popular show “BoomeRaging: From LSD to OMG” is at 7:30 pm, Monday, May 12 at the Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Drive, Bend, inside the Century Center.
The benefit performance for KPOV, 88.9 fm is presented by BIGS Hydroponics & Organics. Advance tickets are $15 general admission, $13 for KPOV members (members can call KPOV at 541-322-0863 for the membership discount code). Tickets will also be available at the door for $17.
Celeste Franklin, veteran touring comic from Seattle, now a KPOV deejay living in Bend, will open for Durst. KPOV deejay Mike Ficher will emcee the show.
In addition to BIGS, sponsors include Doubletree by Hilton in Bend, JR’s Body and Paint, Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails, Lisa Bertalan and Ken Brinich of Hendrix, Brinich & Bertalan, LLP, the Center for Car Donations, Kristin Morris at Connect Hearing, Lulu’s Boutique, Marcia Koff Watercolors and wabi sabi/cool Japanese stuff.
“BoomeRaging,” says Durst, is “my tribute to the joys, achievements and looming terrors that accompany being a member of the Baby Boom Generation.” His rollicking 85-minute heartfelt monologue encourages boomers to refuse to grow old in the face of gravity no matter how many times they forget their online banking security question.
The Oregonian calls Durst “the thinking man’s comic.” The San Francisco Examiner’s Jean Schiffman said “Durst’s good-natured, acerbic monologue is so funny that…I found myself on the verge of uncontrollable hysterical laughter. His observations are hilarious.”
