The Debaters is entering its 21st season on CBC Radio One. It’s a show that combines logical debates paired with a good laugh, and Edmontonians will get a front row seat to two special performances in Edmonton.

The hit CBC radio show is hosted by Steve Patterson, an international headliner and two-time winner of Canada’s Best Male Stand-Up.

The show combines sharp comedic rants with hilarious ad-libs. The format is part stand-up, part quiz show and part comedy competition, with the live audience choosing the winners. 

Each show will feature four unique debates and eight comedians. It will be taped for radio.
