The Take Brussels — Vol. 01

About

Unpopular opinions, defended on stage. The room votes before, the room votes after. 60 seats, in the cinema on the 2nd floor of Ratz Food Market. Come defend yours: send us two topics and we'll approve one. Or just come watch people try. THE TAKE BRUSSELS — VOL. 01 Defend your worst opinion. Everyone has one. That opinion you keep to yourself the one that gets eyes rolled at the dinner table, the one you'll only admit to close friends, half-joking. On 23 October, come to defend yours on stage. Five minutes each, a handful of slides, some questionable evidence and a lot of nerve to flip a room full of strangers. And the room votes. Once before the presentation, once after. In between, you get the mic to push back. Some people will change their mind. Others will dig in which is exactly what you came for. One title is on the line: Best Take of the Night, for whoever swings the most votes. It's not a conference and it's not stand-up. It's sixty people in a cinema arguing, laughing, booing, then heading to the bar to keep it going. Come on your own if you want. You won't leave that way. How the night goes 19:00 — Doors. Grab your welcome cocktail downstairs and head up to the 2nd floor. Your voting paddle is waiting on your seat. 20:00 — Show starts, sharp. We explain the rules, run a warm-up vote, and the room learns how loud it's allowed to be.
