Austin's Next Top Improviser was a short-form competitive improv show inspired by reality-TV competitions.
Summary
Improvisers would compete in challenges to win points, get "boosts", and eventually gain the title (for the night) of "Austin's Next Top Improviser".
The audience would judge the scenes and yell out their elimination catch phrase.
The show ran the second and fourth Friday of every month.
