About this show

The host of the internet's nerdiest panel show (Dropout TV's Um, Actually) brings his own game show to Edinburgh! Big Facts is the panel show where the facts are weird and the lies are weirder. QI meets Would I Lie To You in this brand-new game show, featuring guests from across the festival. Sharp, silly, and genuinely surprising, it's the show where being right and being convincing are two very different skills. Ify has been seen on Comedy Bang! Bang!, Dimension 20, Critical Role, and Adam Ruins Everything, and as a stand-up touring across the world.
