Call it a cross between a game show and a story slam: Four storytellers. One complete liar. The audience gets to grill, interrogate and query the storytellers to figure out using their best Sherlock Holmes insight to figure out who the fabulous fabricator is.

Will Reisen is a New Jersey based storyteller, musicians and trivia champion. He is the co-host of the monthly Story Slam in High Bridge, and was a featured storyteller on “Discover Jersey-Here’s the Story: The Tellers of High Bridge”. Most of the time Will believes honesty is the best policy. Yeah, right.
John “Gemini” Lombardi was born in Brooklyn, New York. With his quick and sense of humor, Gemini started performing comedy and magic at the age of eleven. He’s headlined at the Borgata Comedy club as well as many comedy clubs nationally. With a smirk like that and born Brooklyn, you really gonna believe ANYTHING this guy says?
Denise McCormack’s favorite stories are tales of aged heroes and strong, wise women: creation tales, myths and epics that speak of values and perseverance. She has been a featured teller and workshop presenter at the National Storytellers Network Conferences and the New Jersey Storytelling Festival. With a smile like that, we are pretty sure Denise is ready to scam you out of your entire bank account.
Katie Zurich writes unapologetically about ordinary things that often give us extraordinary joy. Obviously, she’s hiding a dark secret since her photo is in black and white.
Joey Novick has been a political comedian, camp counselor, editorial director, attorney, busboy, radio show host, professional speaker, child actor and an elected official in New Jersey - but not necessarily in that order.
