DECEPTION SHOW KNOXVILLE — A Live Comedy Game Show

Get ready for an evening of comedy and cunning at Deception Show Knoxville—a live comedy game show that's shaking up the local entertainment scene. This innovative monthly event invites you to join some of the Southeast’s funniest comedians for a hilarious night of outrageous lies, spirited debate, and audience participation.

The next show takes place on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Central Cinema, located at 1205 North Central Street, Knoxville. With free venue parking and snacks and beverages available for purchase, it’s the perfect setup for a fun-filled night out.

Here’s how it works: a panel of comedians shares secret stories or facts from their lives, which the host reads aloud in random order. The comedians then engage in a comedic battle of wits, accusations, and laughs to determine who the story belongs to. As an audience member, you’ll get to vote using your phone on who you think is lying, competing for a spot on the leaderboard and a chance to win $80 in prizes.

This event is recommended for ages 18+ due to its adult content, and don’t forget to bring a fully charged phone to participate in the fun. Tickets are refundable up to seven days before the event, but Eventbrite fees are nonrefundable.

Don’t miss your chance to experience Knoxville's newest entertainment gem—Deception Show Knoxville. Grab your tickets, bring your best guesses, and prepare for a night of laughter and surprises! More Info
