- I'm way better than you mate
-You're dreaming
- But I ain't, though
But you are, though
- But I aint, though
-Well let's find out then, is it?

It's an excerpt from a sketch. Why is 'is it' used there? Is it slang?

Is this from a Catherine Tate sketch?

It could mean: Is it (the case) that we are now in the situation of having to find out (whether you are dreaming).
