December 4, 2019 | The Bier Baron Tavern & DC Comedy Loft
|
Perfect Liars Club -- aka DC's favorite "storytelling show with a twist" -- triumphantly returned to Dupont Circle's Bier Baron Tavern and DC Comedy Loft for the December installment of its monthly liar-spotting spectacular. A spellbound crowd predominantly made up of first-time attendees packed the storied saloon where the pre-show tension was so thick one could almost cut it with a knife.
Another foursome of devilishly talented performers was on hand to captivate, beguile, and hoodwink the crowd with their quartet of dubious yarns. But liar-spotting glory wasn't the only thing on the line -- one keen member of the crowd could walk away with bragging rights for the entire month! But first, the stories...
From there, it was on to audience questions, where the queries would indicate that the assembly was grasping:
A thunderous drumroll sounded as the storytellers teased the anxious crowd, teetering to and fro until the night's liar leaped forward to the shocked squeals of the astonished audience.
Kate beamed before them all, a Perfect Liar unspotted. And in the crowd, the shouts of Andrew could be heard among all others, jubilant in the knowledge that he laid claim to a month's worth of liar-spotting bragging rights.
Until next time, friends and lovers.

But liar-spotting glory wasn't the only thing on the line -- one keen member of the crowd could walk away with bragging rights for the entire month! But first, the stories...
- Was Amy's study abroad experience in Ireland haunted by the recurring sound of Guinness-produced flatulence?
- Did lifeguard Kate regrettably snatch a human turd from the kiddie pool with her bare hands after mistakenly thinking her coworkers were playing a prank on her?
- Was college student council president Scott impeached for hosting a poorly conceived, after-hours wine cooler party in the otherwise alcohol-free Student Union?
- Were the hopes and dreams of rabid NBA fan and impromptu autograph seeker Cory crushed after an unseemly run-in with his favorite professional basketball player?
From there, it was on to audience questions, where the queries would indicate that the assembly was grasping:
- Where exactly did Amy procure the peanut butter that she subsisted on since that particular spread -- or so the questioner claimed -- was hard to come by in Ireland?
- Could Kate describe in painstaking detail the process for cleaning a contaminated pool?
- Could Scott recall his campaign slogan?
- What year was Cody's bar mitzvah? No. Not joking.
