People Presenting Things

Saturday 4/29 – Saturday 6/24

6 comedians, 6 presentations, 0 knowledge. Each show we invite a group of comics to present an absurd slideshow—some past topics include “Romance Novel Reviews”, “I Freaking Love Volcanoes”, and “Joining A Cult: Is It Right For Me?”—but the performers won’t know what they’re speaking on until they take the stage. It’s educational, it’s embarrassing, it’s all improvised.
