Chris Betts Versus
20 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingThe 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.
