The 36th Annual Great Debate

Here at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, we like to ask the important questions. Like, what happens when you put together two teams of over-confident, unqualified comedians, and pit them against each other, all for the entertainment of the audience and an all-powerful moderator? The answer is the comedy throwdown of the year – it's the 36th Annual Great Debate!

The gloves are off and the jokes are on, as six comedy superstars and one fearless moderator take to the stage with dubious facts, baseless allegations, and whip-smart humour.

The Great Debate - where critical thinking and comic timing collide!
