The Crossword Show at KQED

The Crossword Show returns to the KQED for the debut of “Puzzle #3: Cross Country”!

Host Zach Sherwin (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Epic Rap Battles of History”) presides as his guests Glynn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, and comedian Jackie Keliiaa solve a crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a screen so the audience can follow along.

As the guest solvers decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay and trivia, all inspired by the answer words, and 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 joyful, nerdy, one-of-a-kind experience!

“Tons of fun.” – NYTimes. “Jaw-dropping.” – SFGate.

VIP ticket holders get to enjoy an exclusive pre-show hang with Zach, featuring bites and drinks, the chance to participate in a  wordplay quiz game, and special bonus material from The Crossword Show for their eyes only!
