Monologist Mike Daisey, who came under fire last year when <em>This American Life </em>discovered factual inaccuracies and fabrications in an episode<em> </em>that Mr. Daisey adapted from his monologue <em>The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, </em>is back to <a href="http://www.joespub.com/component/option,com_shows/task,view/Itemid,40/id,6600">talk about lying</a>.</p>
<p>Next month, coincidentally one year after <em>This American Life</em> issued <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retraction">a retraction</a>, Mr. Daisey will perform a new monologue called <em>On Lying and the Nature of Magic</em> at Joe's Pub at The Public Theatre (where he preformed <em>The Agony..</em> last winter, as well as <a href="http://observer.com/2012/10/mike-daisey-returns-with-new-work-post-steve-jobs-im-a-better-artist/">some new material</a> since). <!--more--></p>
<p>"On this night he'll examine the social codes that govern lying, the uncomfortable truths of how lying interlaces with fiction and story, and what it means when we say were telling the truth," the show's description reads. "Picasso famously said, art is a lie that tells the truth...if he even ever really said that at all. For one night, well put our cards on the table and try to work out the story beneath the story."</p>
<p>Tickets, which go on sale tomorrow, are $25 each and Mr. Daisey expects them to sell out quick.</p>
<p>"It is going to be fucking great...unless I am lying about that. ;)" Mr. Daisey wrote in an email announcement. Lying: not only good fodder for speeches and shows, also funny!</p>
