The Best of Everything
The Institution Theater
October 23rd
The Highball

    What is the best childhood toy ever? What band had the best lead singer? What sitcom family rises above all others?
   So far, The Best of Everything has decided - with a panel of esteemed guests - just who was the best rock n' roll frontman ever (David Byrne), what was the best toy (Merlin) and even made a call on the best sexual position (cowgirl).  For October, the interplanetary, interdimensional showdown will answer the question debated in every comedy club: “Who is the greatest cast member in the history of ‘Saturday Night Live’”?
     The panel - including local sketch comedians Chris Allen, Lance Gilstrap and Courtney Hopkin  - has stayed up late on Saturday nights for their entire life just to attain the vast knowledge necessary to debate this most important of topics.  Hosting the heated roundtable will be Asaf Ronen as the panelists will debate the quandry live for the audience's entertainment, and their votes.  The smack down plays The Highball on Sunday, October 23rd, starting at 7 p.m.
    Each month, new guests from the worlds of comedy, music and literature will face off to champion their pop cultural nominee towards supremacy. They'll hash it out so the rest of us can finally shut up about it.  
     The Highball is located at 1142 South Lamar Blvd, and admission is $5.  For more information, call (512) 383-8309.
