Dubbed "Best Oddball Night" by New York Magazine, the World Record Appreciation Society features an ever-changing lineup of eclectic performers setting unique world records. The night is hosted by the Universal Record Database (URDB.org), a Web site The New Yorker says "is to the Guinness World Records as Wikipedia is to the Encyclopaedia Britannica." World records set at previous events have ranged from 'Most Cocktail Umbrellas Fit In Hair In One Minute' to 'Tallest Drawing Of A Midget' to 'Most Bananas Fit In A Pair Of Pants At Once.' URDB are regular guests on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and host thousands of unique records on their site.
"Our live events bring out a mix of individual bravery, group participation, hilarity, surprise and all-around general chaos," says URDB co-founder and event host Dan Rollman. "We've seen everything from a wedding proposal to the world's tallest carrot cake to 12 women standing on top of a man rolled up in a carpet."
Guests for the July 27th will include:
* Writer/Performer OPUS MORESCHI (The Colbert Report)
