Turnt Up! with Eliza Skinner
Comedians face off in series of one-on-one rap battles -- totally freestyle, totally improvised. The SXSW Comedy crowd decides the winner by applause at the end of every round, until one comic is crowned king.
Hosted by Eliza Skinner, with music provided live by beatboxer Ben Buck
