Neither the bitter cold nor the lingering effects of the recent holidays could keep the adoring crowds away from Perfect Liars Club’s first show of the new year. An evenly split mix of faithful veterans and first-time attendees packed themselves into the cozy confines of Dupont Circle's Bier Baron Tavern to partake in the monthly liar-spotting extravaganza. Would the hyped capacity crowd start the year on a winning note by successfully fingering the fraud among our four storytellers or would they keep their unfortunate streak of failure alive?
No matter the outcome, one thing was clear from the start -- this audience came ready to be entertained. And thanks to our talented lineup of storytellers, entertained they were by four hard to believe tales:
By the time of the interrogation, our audience was absolutely rabid with suspicion. So much so, in fact, we went into Perfect Liars Interrogation Overtime. Some of the probing gems from the crowd included the following:
No matter the outcome, one thing was clear from the start -- this audience came ready to be entertained. And thanks to our talented lineup of storytellers, entertained they were by four hard to believe tales:

- Did overstretched traveling dad Nupe put his “World’s Greatest Dad” title on the line when he allowed his 3 and a half-year-old daughter to go to the Ladies Room in a busy airport by herself?
- Did Tom’s friendly wager with his boss, Senator Ted Kennedy, go awry when he was pulled over for speeding while driving the senator to his home in Hyannis Port?
- Did a randy pair of "hippies" make off with Melissa’s vibrator after she discovered them in flagrante delicto in her bedroom while hosting a house party?
By the time of the interrogation, our audience was absolutely rabid with suspicion. So much so, in fact, we went into Perfect Liars Interrogation Overtime. Some of the probing gems from the crowd included the following:
- How did Ian sneak into a conference without any credentials?
- Why didn’t Nupe look for a family restroom?
- Why did Senator Kennedy sit in the front seat next to Tom instead of the back seat with his wife?
- If Melissa kept her vibrator in her underwear drawer and days had passed before she realized it had gone missing, how often did she change her undergarments?
