When Lou Wall’s appearance on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala went globally viral, their set (a story about trying to sell a bed frame on Facebook Marketplace) was viewed over 50 million times in 48 hours, leaving thousands of commenters and everyone who’s seen the piece live demanding to know one thing … is the story true? In Breaking the Fifth Wall, Wall presents the sequel to their infamous bed saga and finally answers all the burning questions. But can you trust their answer is honest? We know that comedians often stretch the truth for a good story, but where does exaggerating end and lying begin? In an era where a comic’s currency is their authenticity, is lying in pursuit of a punchline ethically righteous? Can we trust comedians to handle the truth, and did that Facebook bed story actually happen? Let’s find out.
