Wed Oct 28 Swine Flu & Making it in the USA

Posted by Anna Bonokoski on October 29 at 05:05 PM

Is H1N1 really worth all this hysteria? American funnyman Alonzo Bodden (winner of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”) does his best to prove to Montreal immunology major Scott Faulconbridge that swine flu is nothing but hog wash. Next up on our highly contagious mix of fact and funny, Canadian comedy star Debra DiGiovanni tries to convince incredulous New Yorker Judy Gold that you haven’t made it ‘till you’ve made it in the USA. Yes, we’ve got Americans versus Canadians this week on The Debaters. Tell your friends on both sides of the border to tune in and help our infectious brand of comedy “go viral.” Airs Wednesday at 11:30 am on CBC 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!
