Pick a Side Stupid: Comic Books!

This is a one-of-a-kind comedy show in which comedians argue absurd questions. We explore a variety of topics each week, including Marvel movies, 90s music, dating, superstitions, and more!

“Would you rather have a weapon like Thor’s hammer, which you can only use as long as you have a pure heart, or Iron Man’s suit, which you can only use as long as you don’t gain any weight?” has been asked on previous shows.

“Anonymous love poems are being sent to you.” “Does that make you feel good or bad?”

Every week, the show is recorded for Shawn Carter’s podcast “Pick a Side Stupid.”

At this show, we’re always excited to meet new people and expand our community. I look forward to seeing you there.
