Chris Betts Versus
The internet's only comedy debate gameshow podcast! Chris Betts has been doing his show Vs The Audience live for years (and won an award with it right before lockdown) but now that live comedy is nowhere near returning he's decided to take it online and release the arguments in a podcast. The idea is simple, Chris will argue the opposite of anything anyone says. Sometimes he argues against a room full of people, sometimes it's one on one against some of his favourite comedians. The outcome is always exciting and unpredictable. SInce his opponents choose the topics Chris has no way to prepare so every episode is off the top of his head and completely different. If you like hearing people debate but hate when they take it personally, this show is for you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/chris-betts-versus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week’s opponent is the mighty Glenn Wool. Glenn’s combination of intelligent political comedy and burly Canadian demeanor has been described as "hoser savant." In short he’s a comedy dynamo and I’ve been excited to get him to do the show since I started it back in 2017.
The guest judge is Paul Byrne, one of comedy’s best and most trusted directors. Paul is the only non-comedian ever to judge Chris Betts Versus and I’m delighted...

Public nudity
