The Debaters was absolutely amazing. A thoroughly enjoyable experience! This was a Christmas present to my daughter which I got to enjoy as well. We literally laughed until we were crying. I also bought us each a ticket for the Prix Fixe Dinner at Sidebar Restaurant before the show. Totally amazing food and service. The only suggestion I would make is that Ticketmaster should make it more plainly evident that we were supposed to make a reservation at Sidebar and that our purchase of a ticket did not guarantee us a table at the restaurant. We arrived to a totally packed restaurant with no reservation! Only due to the kindness of the extremely gracious host, Josh, were they able to squeeze us in and even gave us a drink on the house for our understanding! Thank you Josh! You were the best part of our evening! I don’t doubt that it indicated at the time that we had to make a reservation but I missed it. Perhaps Ticketmaster will make this clearer in the future as Josh at Sidebar told us this happens frequently, much to their dismay as well.
I laugh my head off from the opening music to the final vote. Much better than the radio show, which is remarkably sanitized. I bring 6 friends to this show every year and everyone loves it.
I have listened to The Debaters on the radio, this was my first time going in person. Everything kept the audience laughing, from Steve Patterson's puns(some we groan worthy) to the comedians themselves. I had thought only one show was being taped, but got a nice surprise when I realized three shows were being taped. I will definitely go again.
The best of the best - we laughed the whole way through!
The Debaters was a most entertaining and very well run show. It was great to see radio performers in person. Unfortunately the only food served by the Danforth Music hall was popcorn.
The evening was lovely. I enjoyed the format of comedy and debates
The Debaters was a fantastic, Canadian themed comedy show that was wonderful to see! My husband and I really enjoyed Steve Patterson's wit, and the debaters, DeAnne Smith and Graham Chittenden were thoroughly entertaining. We definitely look forward to seeing The Debaters live again.
There is no debate, these shows are always a good time.
Great to see this show that we regularly listen to on CBC radio live! Steve Patterson was witty as always. The two debaters were very funny, and also did some stand up comedy at the beginning. Well worth the time and money!
