Master Pancake Theater goes BACK TO THE VILLAGE...uh, I mean FUTURE!!!

Continuing the triumphant return of local renaissance funnyman Owen Egerton to the movie-mocking circuit, we're pleased to add additional screenings of this sold-out show at the Alamo Village!

For this installment of the much-ballyhooed Master Pancake Experience, the Austin public will be at Comedy Ground Zero for the reunion of two original cast members from the Sinus Show: John Erler (the tall bald one) and Owen Egerton (the compact ginger nut), who, along with pal Joe Parsons, lampoon BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985), a film so iconic that for a brief period in the mid-80's it convinced people that DeLoreans, Burger King and Huey Lewis and the News were hip. Michael J. Fox (FAMILY TIES, TEEN WOLF) plays, well, Michael J. Fox -- or Marty McFly as he's called here -- who travels back in time in order to save his professorial pal 'Doc', played by Christopher Lloyd (CLUE, STAR TREK III). Along the way, McFox ends up inventing Rock 'n Roll, changing the future and almost dating his own mom. Oedipally complex, this movie features a brilliant performance from indie icon Crispin Glover as Marty's exquisitely milquetoast dad, who eventually learns how to sock it to Biff. Time McFlys when you're having fun, and you'll be having 1.21 jigowatts of it this February, with film-embellishers John, Owen and Joe, March 7 and 15 at the Alamo Village! Get yer tickets HERE!
