Start off your semester right with a night full of laughter! 
Will Burkart is an LA based stand up comedian, actor, writer, and sparkling water aficionado.

Now a force to be reckoned with, Will has toured all over the country headlining comedy clubs and colleges. Thanks to the massive popularity of his stand up clips on social media, Will's fan base has skyrocketed over the past few years amassing hundreds of thousands of followers and over 120 million views.
