Chris Betts vs. the Audience

Date: Thursday, Jun 7 2018
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: The Lazy Dog
Artists
Chris Betts

The Lazy Dog’s Thursday night comedy session How Lazy Is He? welcomes the excellent Chris Betts with his new politics-fuelled, all-topics-welcome game show.

“Forget the Houses of Parliament. Forget Corbyn Vs. May. There’s only one place to see true debate where the gloves are off and nothing is off topic: Upstairs at the Lazy Dog as Chris Betts challenges you, the audience, to pick any topic and he will argue for or against, no matter how taboo the subject.

“Infidelity, racism, euthanasia, Wales. Chris Betts Vs. The Audience is a fun, friendly game show, where the winner is always the one who can argue the best under the scrutiny of special guest judges, previous guests including, Evelyn Mok, Pierre Novellie, Desiree Burch and Jamali Maddix. Chris Betts will put his wit and knowledge on trial in what is one of the hardest tests for any comedian.”
