Ragebait — A Comedy Debate Show
About the event
Strong opinions. Nothing at stake. Republic of Comedy’s parliamentary debate about things that don’t matter. Fight us.
This is 100% ragebait. A show that combines the civil discourse of an online comment section with the warm, harmonious energy of a holiday dinner with your in-laws’ cousin.
Tonight, you’ll stand firmly — the way the EU stands behind tethered bottle caps — behind an opinion that affects absolutely no one, yet could spark a prosthetic fistfight in a nursing home. Like whether cheese is overrated.
Two teams of comedians. Each team fights for the correct side against the wrong one. Which side is correct depends entirely on nothing. But you commit, the way Ridley Scott committed to Gladiator II. The best part? You CAN object. Once. But at ANY point. Will we sustain or overrule? Yes.
If your team wins, you’ll collectively receive a magnificent trophy we bought at a discount, its value carefully matched to the relevance of the debate.
Hippies said “make love, not war.” We say make war. Lots of it. No love. Come angry. Leave angrier. Over nothing.
