In 1820 Gregor MacGregor sold a country that didn’t exist. In 2025 Liam Rees can’t stop lying to tourists. Part confessional storytelling. Part TED Talk. Mostly bullshit.
The Land That Never Was tells the true story of Gregor MacGregor (yes that is his real name), a Scottish conman who sold a country that literally did not exist. Blending confessional stand-up, storytelling, and a whole lot of bullshit, this is a story about wanting to burn it all down and start again from scratch. It’s a story about a group of strangers who collectively believed in something that doesn’t exist… yet. It’s is a story about us.
