ABOUT THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH 
 
David Mitchell hosts the hilarious panel show which turns honest men into lying cheats. In this devious and delightfully funny competition, four comedians have the audacity to lie through their teeth for victory.  They compete against each other with lies, untruths and dishonesty. Tall tales, white lies, blatant bluffs and misdirection rule. Can they smuggle the truth past each other or will they be caught in the act of lying? Listen in, play along and try to separate fact from fiction in the ultimate lying game.
 
The show is devised by Graeme Garden and Jon Naismith, the team behind Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

My Review:

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!
​
A dream of a comedy show, to the point that fellow commuters on public transport have given me the side-eye when I've repeatedly laughed out loud.

David Mitchell is a brilliant host, and the comedians' essays of lies are works of genius. My favourite episodes of this series were the ones when David Mitchell was joined by four female comedians - Sarah Millican, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Holly Walsh and Katherine Ryan, lying about princesses, diets, sauce, and paper. A special mention goes to Victoria Coren Mitchell - the interactions between husband and wife were entertaining and delightful to behear.  

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
