Pitch Slapped

They’ve never seen the slides. They have no idea what’s coming next. And somehow… they still have to present it.

This is Pitch Slapped — where powerpoint presentations are completely improvised, judged live, and guaranteed to go off the rails in the best way.

Performers step on stage and spin the Wheel of Misfortune, which decides their specific presentation style (like a TED Talk, wedding speech, or high-stakes sales pitch), and a slide deck they have never seen before—usually a chaotic mix of bizarre images, weird graphs, and absurd bullet points. Their job is confidently fake total authority and spin the mismatched visuals into a coherent narrative —live, with zero prep time.

A panel of 3 audience judges scores the chaos, and by the end of the night, the highest-rated presenter walks away with the ultimate title: Pitch-Slapped Champion and wins ‘The Golden Slap’ award.

It is fast-paced, high-energy, and wildly entertaining.

Host: Tamith Hattingh
