A PowerPoint-based comedy show where participants give five-minute talks on topics of their choice while drinking.
PowerPints returns to Radio/East on Thursday, September 17, for another night of PowerPoint-based comedy. The premise is simple: a few people get five minutes each to geek out on a topic of their choice, backed by a slide deck. It's a comedy show where you actually learn things, provided you're interested in whatever the presenter happens to be obsessed with.
That's the beauty of the format—the topics are as random as the people who sign up. One person might spend their five minutes ranking breakfast cereals, another might make a case for why certain cats are overrated, and a third could dive into a piece of weird history you've never heard of. Because each slot is so short, the night moves quickly from one obsession to the next, and you don't have to commit to a whole evening of one subject. You just sit back and watch people talk about the things they love with an enthusiasm that's usually the funniest part of the whole thing.
Radio/East presents the show, and it's open to all ages, so it works as a low-stakes night out with friends or something to bring the kids along to. The whole thing is billed as the best PowerPoint-based comedy show on earth, and since it's built on people just talking about their favorite things, it's pretty easy to get into regardless of where you're coming from.
