Hosts
STEVE PATTERSON
Nominated for "Best Male Stand-up" at the 2007 Canadian Comedy Awards, Steve Patterson has emerged as a top international headliner and one of Canada's best comedic hosts. In 2007 he taped television specials for the Halifax Comedy Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and one of Montreal's Just for Laughs 25th anniversary galas.
The former London and Toronto, Ontario resident also starred in CBC TV pilot, "The Truth About" and his own CBC Radio One special, "Talking Funny with Steve Patterson."
Steve began his full-time comedy career in 1996 when he was fired from his full time copywriting job for making an ad about an amusement park "too amusing".
Advertising's loss is clearly our gain.
The Debaters is the hit CBC Radio show that features Canada’s hottest comedians going toe to toe, debating topics in the news and on the minds of Canadians.
The audience picks the winners based on who delivered the best logic and laughs, the best rhetoric and rant. Facts and force of argument can earn points, but in the end, jokes will likely win the match. Comedy trumps all.
The Debaters... where arguments are won with funny and with fact!
