Description

Restaurant glamour or couch comfort? From three-course meals to microwave magic, our comedians dig into the delicious debate of where dinner tastes best. Whether you live for reservations or leftovers, come hungry for laughs!

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.
