Sat Oct 24 Wisdom of our Edlers

Posted by Anna Bonokoski on October 21 at 04:25 PM

We're in St. Albert this week as Alberta booster Peter Brown does battle with Toronto tar sands terminator Alan Park to prove that as long as there are pick-ups, ponies and petroleum it ain't over for Alberta. Next up on our comedy double bill, from way out West, aboriginal comic Dawn Dumont tires to convince middle-aged white guy, Andrew Grose that advanced wisdom does not necessarily come with advanced age. Now in its fourth season, The Debaters is wise-cracking beyond its years. Tune in and catch all the sage quips from our seasoned comedians Saturday at 1:00 PM on Radio One.

Spark 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!
