Owen Egerton

From the small stage to the big screen to the fine print, Owen Egerton has razed a long-running trail of hilarity through Austin. While best known for co-founding Master Pancake, his comedic skill shines through in his writing, How Best to Avoid Dying and Everyone Says That at the End of the World. Warner Brothers also has a fondness for Egerton, and is developing a TV series based on his novel The Book of Harold.
