description The Debaters Overview
The Debaters is a Canadian comedy program produced for CBC Radio in which comedians argue opposing sides of deliberately humorous propositions. Each debate uses the structure and language of formal public argument while rewarding jokes, improvisation, and rhetorical performance rather than factual adjudication. A studio audience helps determine the winning side, making the series a hybrid of stand-up comedy, panel entertainment, and competitive debate.
