The Great Love Debate is proud to present "One Night with CHRIS SOULES" - a series of live, Town Hall-style discussion and debates featuring the star of the most recent season of ABC's "The Bachelor." At these special shows, the recently-separated Chris and the audience will attempt to answer the main question raised by the Great Love Debate's 100-city North American tour, "Why is Everyone Still Single?"

"Chris captured the hearts of millions of women as the handsome and romantic Midwestern farmer looking for his bride," says Brian Howie, Host and Creator of the Great Love Debate. "Today he finds himself eligible and available once again, just like the thousands of singles who have attended our shows over the past year. What better way to raise questions and find answers than with a fun and feisty evening with the man who symbolizes everyone's sincere quest for love?"

The Chris Soules series of shows begins August 24th and will make stops in Irvine CA, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tempe AZ, and San Diego. Tickets for the Irvine show are now on sale now at Irvine.Improv.com. Tickets for all Great Love Debate tour stops can be purchased at GreatLoveDebate.com.

The Great Love Debate is nationally-touring event featuring a lively, interactive Town Hall-style discussion and debate on the current state of the date that is comprised of an audience of 100 of each city's most eligible bachelors facing off against 100 of its most dynamic single women to answer the question, "Why is everyone still single?"

Chris Soules first captured the hearts and minds of America when he was a final three contestant on season 10 of "The Bachelorette." The self-proclaimed romantic is an enormously successful farmer who competed for Andi Dorfman's heart, but did not win the season. However, the tables turned with season 19 of "The Bachelor", during which 30 women competed to be his wife. Chris later competed as part of the Season 20 cast of "Dancing With The Stars." Chris, who could drive a tractor before he could drive a car, grew up on a farm in Lamont, Iowa and attended Iowa State University where he studied agronomy and agriculture. He loves football, camping, country music, and he is hoping for a big family, just like his own.
