Description

Are our future overlords coming from a distant galaxy or built in a basement lab? Join us for an out-of-this-world comedy debate as extraterrestrials take on artificial intelligence. Beam yourself in for a night of sci-fi silliness and futuristic fun!

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.
