- Whose Lie Is It Anyway?
- Whose Lie Is It Anyway? brings you a night of comedy and deception like never before! 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. The audience votes on whether they think it’s a truth or a lie, adding to the pressure and the fun! Can you spot the truth? Come join the fun and find out!
