TIT Talks is an improv show inspired by TED Talks. It was named TIT Talks because its initial run of shows was at The Institution Theater. Later it had two runs of shows at The New Movement Theater, during which it was renamed TNM Talks.

Summary

The show ran Fridays and Saturdays at The Institution Theater from 2/28/14 to 3/22/14.

The show featured a series of 'guest lecturers', performers from all of Austin's improv theaters who performed in character, who were given random topics and PowerPoint presentations to accompany their presentation.

The show was rounded out by scripted performances.
