Ever wanted to lie through your teeth and reap a roaring applause for it? Or maybe you think yourself gifted in distinguishing truths from lies?
Then come and join us on 29th April in St. Botolph’s Church, EC3N 1AB, 6.45pm for our special event ‘Toastmaster’s Unbelievable Truths’
The evening’s concept is loosely based on the BBC Radio 4 programme ‘The Unbelievable Truth’ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007mf4f), where speakers are tasked to deliver a speech of lies into which they embed a few truths, which members of a panel are tasked to spot.
This is a joint event between London City Speakers, 1st London Toastmasters and Broadgate Speakers and we are now looking for 3 lying scoundrels from each club.
The speeches are to last 2-3 minutes and should contain only 3 truths. The truths should be as unbelievable as possible. For example:
‘The Tasmanian red back spider famously excretes any bodily waste through its nostrils, whereas the South American Surinam toad gives birth through its skin.
We leave it to you to figure out which fact is true 🙂
On the night, we will assemble 9 panels, each consisting of 5 members. The panel members will be asked to interrupt the speaker whenever they think they’ve spotted a truth. Positive points will be given and deduced for correct and incorrect interruptions, respectively.
Prizes will be given to the most cunning panel and to the best speaker.
If this has inspired you to become lier of the evening, please contact committee@cityoflondontoastmasters.org to reserve your speaker’s slot.
Looking forward to seeing you there…
