Angela Barnes, Esther Manito, Glenn Moore and Ed Petrie are supporting a new campaign to highlight the wide range of contributions refugees have made to British society.

The comedians front Two Truths And A Lie, a quiz created by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's UK charity.

With a new twist on the popular icebreaker quiz of the same name, the Two Truths And A Lie campaign aims to surprise and inform more people about the positive impact refugees, and those who were forced to flee their homes, have on communities, society and culture.

The campaign centres on an online quiz in which the four comedians act as virtual quiz hosts, asking questions on topics ranging from literature and politics to food and sport. The charity hopes the quiz will not only test the public's general knowledge, but also encourage people to look past stereotypes and learn more about the refugee cause.

Ed Petrie says: "UNHCR is one of my favourite causes to get involved in. I saw their work first hand filming in Eastern Europe during the Syrian refugee crisis and I think they're one of the most important charities out there."
