Does this seem like a familiar British panel show you've seen before? No? Then its a totally original idea I came up with. I am going to get some (hopefully) noticeable faces to split into two teams, and tell some outrageous stories. The catch? Some of them are lies. The other catch is they wont know until they are on stage if they are going to tell their own tale, or one I've deviously made up. Its up to the other team to ask some questions and snuff out the truth, or the lie, or like the bluff. Points don't matter at all, it's all for a chuckle!
