As with most comedy shows, only some of the stories in Andy Christie's The Liar Show are true. Unlike most comedy shows, you get to call bullshit on the phonies. Four performers tell four stories about something funny that happened to them. The stories are sometimes crass, often absurd and only three of them are true. The host then officiates an interrogation, where audience members grill performers on their stories before voting for the liar. Pick the fraud and you get a T-shirt. Pick someone else, and you get to congratulate the winners all demure-like. This week's stop features 2007's First Person Arts Grand Slam winner Juliet Wayne, writer Jim O'Grady, comedienne Ophira Eisenberg and actress/writer Faye Lane. Or does it?
