Lies, Damned Lies, And Statistics
A UK-style panel show showcasing some of Toronto’s best comedy talent, inspired by Would I Lie To You and Mock The Week.
They may be funny, but who’s a good liar? Comedians are abnormal, but how would they score in a psychopath test? And who is incapable of having a non-weird first date? We’ll find out with a variety of games played by our comedy ensemble.
The show will be edited and distributed on YouTube, so let’s make some magic happen!
