Uptown Showdown: Coupled Up vs. Unattached (in NYC w/Livestream)

October 21, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$17
  • « The Activist Kitchen (in LA)
  • Hike Bros! (in LA) »

Is knowledge power, or is experience everything? Watch sharp-witted scholars face off against quick-thinking hustlers in a comedy clash of brains vs. instincts. Whether you swear by textbooks or street sense, this debate will school you in laughter! Featuring Ariel Dumas (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), Dave Hill (Parking the Moose), Sam Kebede (Lack History), Alison Leiby (Oh God, A Show About Abortion), Kate Rigg (Elsbeth), and Josh Sharp (ta-da!), with special guest host Negin Farsad (Fake the Nation).

The popular comedy debate series invites two teams of funny folks from the worlds of stand-up and late-night television to tackle topics of great importance to pop culture, such as which pet is superior—cats or dogs—and is it better to be comfortable or fashionable? The verbal sparring and all-around absurdity only stop when the audience decides the winner.
