KBH (roughly pronounced "cavaan") is a diffcult concept to explain. It is a competetion between teams of young people in front of an audience and a panel of judges. It is part sketch comedy, part satire, and part an improvisational battle of wits between members of opposing teams. There were two local competetions held during the month of April in which the team from my university competed.
