The Crossword Show with Zach Sherwin

The Crossword Show makes a triumphant return to The Linda on Thursday 11/7! Host Zach Sherwin (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Epic Rap Battles of History”) presides as a panel of guests solves an actual crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a big screen so the audience can follow along. As the solvers decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down rabbit holes of comedy, music, wordplay, and trivia inspired by the answer words, and it all ties together at the end for a grand finale that’s as satisfying as it is mind-blowing. It’s the New York Times crossword meets NPR’s “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me,” but with more rap than you’d expect, and you genuinely don’t need any puzzle expertise to be dazzled by this delightful, brainy, one-of-a-kind experience. “Tons of fun.” – NYTimes. “Jaw-dropping.” – SFGate.
