The Great Debate combines the best bits of drinks with friends, arguing about "what's better," and celebrating our favorite fandoms. In this silly, entertaining, and EXTREMELY LEGITIMATE game-show style debate, fervent fans face off to demonstrate their selected IP's superiority through artifacts, actual facts, and wild speculation. Expert contestents from all corners of Chicago's nerd, geek, and dweeb communities will have you in stitches with their hot takes on one another's beloved characters, stories, games, and entertainment. Described by one audience member as "Like a Dropout game show but irl!," this is the perfect outing for a group of friends ready to hash it out vicariously while they enjoy a craft coctail. But don't worry, you'll have your say too! Be prepared to step up to the mic for the "questions from the audience" portion of the debate and/or bring your dollars to "vote with your tips" and earn extra points for your own preferred passion!W, Mar 11: Super Squad Smackdown Hosted by Stella Cheeks
