Pick of the Day: Speechless 8/27

At this point in time, PowerPoint presentations have been hijacked quite expertly by comedians to all sorts of comedic and satirical mischief. One of SF’s longer running innovative, indie comedy shows, Speechless, is specifically centered on the intersection between comedy and PowerPoint presentation with folks having to improvise an entire presentation with PowerPoint slides that they’ve never seen before.

Chaos abounds, in a very fun way of course, especially when comedians take to Speechless. An upcoming virtual edition on Thurs. Aug. 27th at 7PM PT/10PM ET will actually have Eddie Pepitone, Eliza Skinner, Colleen Smith, and Calum Grant slickly spinning their spiel into whatever their presentation has to be. It’s a fine, fine line-up and we can’t wait to see how they’ll dig themselves out whatever hole they’ll constantly be thrown into.

Tickets are $5* and you can (and should) go get them here.

*A percentage of the proceeds will go to ACLU.

This show had a far too short run at the Improv. Thankfully, this improvised powerpoint show is coming back once more at Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theater next week on Wed., June 27th at 8PM.

Zed Cutsinger and Andrew Michaan’s PowerPointless will also have a line-up including Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Nick Thune, Brent Weinbach, and David Dineen-Porter that’s more than up to the task of BS-ing their way through an actual PowerPoint presentation that they’ve never seen before. 

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Please get them here.

Watching comedians perform, you might think that they’re such succinct observers of the world around them that probably know a little more than just a thing or two.

This new show “Experts” (Note: the quotation marks are intentionally part of the title and suggest an air of sarcasm) will put comedians and their knowledge to the test via a completely factual multimedia presentation on a topic. 

This first show has an amazing line-up that could make anything they talk about entertaining, but will focus in on a topic they feel that they’re an “expert” in. With Guy Branum, we’d guess it be Canada. 

“Experts” will kick off next week at UCB Sunset. Tickets are $7 and you can (and should) get them here.
