Uptown Showdown Comedy Debate: Family vs Friends

You can’t get drunk and make out with your mom the way you might with your friend Daryl, but you can watch that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo marathon on TLC with her. Would you rather face the quiet judgment of your friends or have your aunt tell you to your face that you look fat?

Let our team of experts decide whom you should spend this holiday season with. David Rees (Going Deep with David Rees), Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show), Jena Friedman (The Daily Show) and Elna Baker (This American Life) and Kevin Townley (The Talent Show Brand Variety Show) tackle this question just in time for Thanksgiving.  Hosted by Matthew Love.

You never know what to expect at this bi-monthly, wacky debate series that brings together two teams of comedians, writers and performers to face-off on a chosen topic, such as which pet is superior cats or dogs and is it better to be comfortable or fashionable?

Debaters will argue these lingering questions, drawing from historical fact and personal opinion in equal measure, and with plenty of sillinesss and audience participation. Forget about school reform and healthcare, these issues, heatedly argued by some of the funniest, smartest, intensely wacky creative thinkers around, are the topics that keep us awake at night….in a good way. Winner decided by the audience.
