KZFR Chico welcomes back progressive columnist and commentator Jim Hightower to headline a night of political satire and commentary. Comedian Will Durst from San Francisco and local comic geniuses Merry Standish will also perform. This is a post convention pre-election look at the politics of the presidential race. On August 25th, it will be 75 days to the most important election of our lifetime.

National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and New York Times best-selling author, Jim Hightower has spent four decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be – consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks. Hightower is a modern-day Johnny Appleseed, spreading the message of progressive populism all across the American grassroots.


Will Durst - “Quite possibly the best political satirist working in the country today.” - The New York Times



Merry Standish Comedy - Aaron Standish and Liz Merry have been writing and performing together since 1990. Their shows include topical, local, political, and mature audience material.
