PowerPoint Showdown

by Some Nobodies

Powerpoint Showdown is an improv comedy show where each episode is disguised as a conference covering a general topic, such as Advances in Transportation or Dental Hygiene. These conferences consist of four presentations, led by different speakers. At the end, the speaker who gave the best presentation “wins a $50,000 grant in the form of a scholarship to Some Nobodies University and/or a ‘rare novelty bit of nostalgia’.”The twist: none of the speakers have seen their presentations before it is their turn to speak.
