Geeks versus Nerds Wins Best of Halifax

Back in 2010, Geeks versus Nerds started in Andrew Dorfman’s living room as a podcast where debaters would discuss various pop culture matchups. With the assistance of Jay and John Roy, the show moved into a comedy club and was thus put to the test of being recorded in front of a live audience. Now in its third season, Geeks versus Nerds is a monthly gathering, a Mecca for all the geeks and nerds of Halifax. But the enjoyment of the podcast extends past the borders of Halifax, and reaches geeks and nerds from all seven continents (the podcast has been downloaded as far away as Korea and Serbia).

Geeks versus Nerds takes the friendly arguments we’ve all had over comic book racks and around gaming tables, and turns them into organized debates. Have you ever wondered...

• Who is the bigger badass, Batman or Boba Fett?
• Who is the smarter master of mysteries, Sherlock Holmes or Doctor Who?
• Who is the best second in command, Darth Vader or Spock?

We bring these and many more arguments to the light, and let the masses determine the victors! The current season (4) is being recorded live every month in front of an ever growing live audience at the Grawood Lounge at Dalhousie University.
