Arguments & Grievances Comedy Debates

Arguments & Grievances is a live comedy debate show where sharp comedians argue passionately about completely ridiculous topics with the audience deciding the victor.

Born of Chicago’s alt-comedy scene, A&G built a cult following by taking the structure of a serious debate and smashing it into the chaos of stand-up. Past matchups include The McRib vs. Macbeth, Dr. Dre vs Dr. Seuss, and Hugs vs Drugs (to name a few) - in other words, cultural collisions delivered with confidence and unnecessary conviction.

The show has been featured in countless comedy festivals earning praise such as “smart, high-stakes tomfoolery disguised in a brilliant, faux-brainy conceit… This show is a riot.” (Chicago Tribune) and "Arguments & Grievances is just a hilarious good time." (The Laugh Button)

Now, after a hiatus, Arguments & Grievances returns bigger, sharper, and ready to settle the world’s least important arguments once and for all.
