For two decades, Canadians have been turning up the volume whenever The Debaters comes on. To mark their 20th anniversary on the radio, Steve Patterson and his favourite sparring partners are bringing the whole ridiculous and hilarious operation on a holiday tour!
These special shows aren't recorded for broadcast so... what happens in the theatre stays in the theatre.
The usual suspects:
Steve Patterson: two-time Canadian Comedy Award winner and your host for the evening.
Deborah Kimmett: a Canadian comedy fixture for over 45 years with three best-selling comedy albums to her name.
Matt Wright: a JUNO-nominated comedian who has opened for Jerry Seinfeld and John Mulaney.
Together, they deliver a night of sharp stand-up comedy and two joke-filled debates in the format made famous on the radio — two comedians, one ridiculous topic, and an audience that gets to decide who wins.
It's the perfect holiday night out. Funnier than your office party, warmer than your family dinner, and a lot easier to get tickets for than you think.
Audience: General public
