Brisbane Comedy Festival 2010 as told by Comedian Tom Ballard

In the Loop
In the Loop is based on the British political satire The Thick Of It, which has been dubbed the new Yes, Minister.

Co-written and directed by its star Ricky Gervais, The Invention Of Lying has a kick-arse premise. In a parallel world in which people don't so much tell the truth as share their every thought, downtrodden Mark Bellison (Gervais) miraculously discovers he can say whatever he wants... and everyone will believe him implicitly.
