Uptown Showdown: Wired vs. Unplugged

Tweeting or talking? Swiping right or shaking hands IRL? Traveling anywhere on Google Earth or walking around the block? Two teams of comedians debate whether it’s better to live in the wonders of the world or the wonders of the Web.

This installment features Ziwe Fumudoh (Above Average), Judy Gold (I’m Dying Up Here), Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight), Lane Moore (Tinder Live), and more!

Uptown Showdown: it’s better than stalking your ex on Facebook.

You never know what to expect at this bi-monthly, wacky debate series that brings together two teams of comedians, writers and performers to argue 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 silliness and audience participation. Forget about school reform and health care, 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. Hosted by Matthew Love.
