In this high-stakes storytelling showdown, each comic steps up with a story—some are outrageous, others oddly believable—but there’s one question in everyone’s mind: are they telling the truth, or is it all a lie? After each story, the host and audience join forces to interrogate the comic, asking clever questions to trip them up and reveal the truth. The comic’s goal? Stick to their story, whether it’s real or a total fabrication, while dodging the audience's suspicions.
