Named Best Oddball Night by New York Magazine, the World Record Appreciation Society is back. On Wednesday, May 20, we're lining up a mix of new stars and URDB legends for our biggest world record night yet. It's gonna be insane, I tells ya.

Pianos was getting a bit squishy, so we've moved to Crash Mansion a few blocks away. We'll have tons more seating, a higher stage, a bar menu, video monitors...even a green room where our record setters can hang out to escape paparazzi.

The extremely funny Craig Baldo (Conan O'Brien, Last Comic Standing, Premium Blend) will open the night, and humorist Colin Nissan (McSweeney's, Huffington Post, 'Don't Be That Guy') will read some of his gut-busting shorts.

BONUS NEWS: We just booked the mucho-radical Blast Off!!! as our house band for the night. Super stoked to have them onboard.

Hope to see you there,

Team URDB
