Andy from Pop Scholars does the 20 Random Slides on the PechaKucha Grand Rapids Stage for PKGR LaughFest edition on March 15, 2017.

Pop Scholars is a 4-man, improv comedy team based out of Grand Rapids. If you’ve seen them, you’ll know why Grand Rapids Magazine deemed them a “wave of smart, culturally relevant humor that is intelligent and funny as hell.” R***e called them, “Relevant and Intelligent” and their parents said, “I wish you called more.”

20 Random Slides was conceived by Dan Terpstra of PechaKucha Grand Rapids when someone didn't show for their presentation. Someone gave a presentation of slides, sight unseen, and it was comedy magic. The tradition continues with prepped, themed slides. The presenter has no idea what's in store!
