About this show
Chris Grace (Superstore, Dropout) brings an all-new hour of stand-up comedy to the Fringe asking the most important questions: Can you get along with someone that you only mostly agree with? Can nuance survive in an age of extremes? Does using AI make someone evil? And most importantly, what kind of food should be served at a gay sauna? 88% is Chris's attempt to reconcile his heart and the real world in his unique style that the Boston Globe called 'an artful blend of the personal and the universal'.
