The Conspiracy Balloon Debate - Victoria Debates

Join Debate London for our NEW VENUE LAUNCH at BAM Karaoke!

This time we present a crowd favourite! A Balloon Debate!
A free-for-all debating event where our panel of debaters & entertainers must compete for your vote each round or be voted off stage!
For the nights events we will be asking ourselves what do we think is the most likely conspiracy theory and the resulting winner will be crowned conspiracy king/queen.

WHAT IS A BALLOON DEBATE?
A light-hearted debate format which sees a panel of 5 or 6 debaters go head to head to stay in the balloon over a series of rounds in which panellists are voted off one at a time until only the winner remains. Normally, they are assigned a celebrity figure to represent, but anything goes and in past debates, speakers have represented everything from terrible Christmas gifts to the Seven Sins.

WHAT IS THIS ONE GOING TO BE ABOUT?
Conspiracies!
Specifically fun pop culture conspiracies pulled straight from some of the most popular social media threads, magazine and streaming sites we could find.

HOW WILL IT WORK?
Our panellists will be challenged to debate each other in a range of different styles between rounds of reality TV style vote offs by you our audience!

• only being allowed to talk up their conspiracy in round 1
• only being allowed to talk down the other conspiracies in round 2
• Q&A with the audience in round 3
• freestyle debate in the final round

A blend of comedic timing and critical thinking (aka wit) will prove vital as they will be expected to make well thought-out arguments, but - since it is a social - will most likely be judged by how entertaining you, the audience, find them.
