Join host and local Astoria comic, Ryan Stanisz, as he challenges NYC’s best stand-ups to improvise their way through a presentation they've never seen before, on a topic that they’ve never even heard of before that night! It's 'Whose Line is it Anyway' meets that TED Talk on ‘Leadership.’ Watch as comics explore such questions as: ‘If McDonalds can serve breakfast all day, then shouldn’t I be able to own a gun in this city?’; ‘Do iPhones fool the elderly into thinking they’re living in the future?’ You owe it to yourself to see, and learn, from this show. This show is not in any way affiliated with TED Talks and or TED Conferences and TED.com.
