Beugró (pronounced [ˈbɛuɡroː], English: Stand-In) is a Hungarian short-form improvisational comedy TV show. The show's format is similar to the one of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. It first aired on December 31, 2007 on TV2, but was not renewed after its first season. The Hungarian national public service television (Magyar Televízió) and Comedy Central Hungary took Beugró over after its cancellation, but one year later (in 2009) they passed it to Cool TV. In 2011, Viasat 3 bought the rights of the show but stopped production after only one year. The last episode aired on January 1, 2012. The show had a spring and a fall season each year.
Each episode of the show consists four actors (usually Lia Pokorny, Laura Ruttkay, Péter Kálloy Molnár, Győző Szabó, Péter Rudolf and/or Csaba Debreczeny) who play improvisational games. As stage properties, they usually have nothing but four chairs. The types of games remain similar but the situations are always new. The show is presented by Péter Novák and is directed and produced by Iván Kapitány.
Beugró was based on the idea of co-producer Tamás Szurdi and went through a long preparatory phase. The games came from exercises played at the Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest and from traditional Hungarian improvisational theatre. After the pilot was accepted the creators watched several international improvisational TV shows (among others the Whose Line Is It Anyway?) to determine the final format of the show. The original four actors were Lia Pokorny, Péter Kálloy Molnár, Győző Szabó and Péter Rudolf.
