Whose Slide Is It Anyway?
Killer Grizz
DEF CON 33 (backfill) · Day 1 · Main Stage
The DEF CON tradition of "Whose Slide Is It Anyway?" stands as a vibrant testament to the hacker community's capacity for humor, spontaneity, and resilience. Far from a conventional technical presentation, this event is an **improv comedy** show, challenging participants to deliver impromptu "lightning talks" on bizarre, audience-suggested topics without the aid of slides. Hosted by the inimitable Killer Grizz, the session at DEF CON was particularly memorable, unfolding against a backdrop of persistent audio-visual (AV) technical failures, which paradoxically amplified the core premise of the show: the absence of slides.
AI review
This isn't a security talk and shouldn't be judged as one — it's a DEF CON cultural institution, an improv comedy show that's been running a decade. Graded on what it actually is: a community event that delivers on its premise, holds the room without slides or working AV, and earns its place on the schedule as a pressure valve between the technical grind.
