Perfect Liars Club at the Book Club on 14th May 2019
The May 2019 Perfect Liars Club show sold out literally months in advance. But on the night itself, the beautiful sunshine made us fear nobody was going to turn up. Luckily our sleuths are far more concerned with catching a liar than catching some rays... And so the room was packed with sleuths (including one canine sleuth!) ready to question everything. With that in mind, our four suspects took to the stage.
The interrogation began and the audience were brutal.
Could Claire tell us the colour of her alleged soldier boyfriend's cap? And how exactly did she get a working visa? (Her claim that a travel agency sorted it out was poo poo-ed by a sleuther who happened to work there!)
How exactly did an unconscious Richard get through airport security? And why did he go on to marry the woman who had colluded in what one litigious audience member proposed was a clear kidnap situation?
How many balloons did Katy have attached to her underwear, and who won the bingo in the end? And could she tell us which stations she got on and off at en route to the alleged Conservative club?
And as for Sarah, could she demonstrate the airing cupboard-landing-staircase-bathroom logistics that would have been required for her story to be true? And what was the name of her asthma medication (old bluey, in case you were wondering). Her response featured possibly the first ever demonstration of how to use an asthma inhaler spacer on a storytelling stage.
The audience conferred. And then they voted. Only 4% of people thought the liar was Richard. (We suspect Google-related foul play in the interval. Online fact checking is not cricket, sleuthers!). 18% suspected Sarah. 28% suspected Katy. And 50% suspected Claire.
The drumroll commenced. And then the liar stepped forward. It was SARAH!

- Was it Claire, who claimed her holiday romance precipitated a military operation in a tropical warzone?
- Was it Richard, who claimed he was hypnotised and transported unwittingly from London to Marrakesh?
- Was it Katy, who alleged that she was put off burlesque performing for life after Conservative club members favoured bingo over bosoms?
- Or was it Sarah, who alleged that she faked a medical emergency to get away with smashing her brother's Lego fort?
