The Debaters Live brings all the hilarity of the hit CBC series to your organization. Veteran comedian Steve Patterson and two guest comics at the top of their game deliver a rapid-fire exchange of facts and funny, customized to your industry or event. Guaranteed to educate and entertain, The Debaters is 100 percent original, super-smart, and wicked funny.
The Debaters has been entertaining audiences (with over 750,000 weekly radio listeners) for nearly a decade, and for good reason. This unique travelling show is the perfect dose of timely laughs for corporate events, fundraisers, and end-of-year gatherings. Here’s how it works: host Steve Patterson handpicks two guest comedians—in the past, they’ve included such Canadian comedy darlings as Mary Walsh, Scott Thompson, and Elvira Kurt—to perform a snap stand-up set before rolling to the main event: a topical debate. Topics can be as tailored—and silly—as you like. After opening rants, bare-knuckle and firing-line rounds, audience questions, and closing summations, your spectators get the final say on which comic was more convincing. This is high-energy live entertainment at its best—and most uproarious.
