Description

In this edition of The Crossword Show, Zach Sherwin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Epic Rap Battles of History, MAD Magazine) hosts local personalities to solve an actual crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a big screen so the audience can follow along.

As they decipher various clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay, and trivia, all inspired by the answer words.

Everything ties together at the end for a grand finale that’s as satisfying as it is mind-blowing. You don’t need ANY crossword expertise to be dazzled by this hilarious, life-affirming, one-of-a-kind experience!
