    The Crossword Show

    Comedy, wordplay, music, and trivia abound in THE CROSSWORD SHOW, as host Zach Sherwin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Epic Rap Battles of History) guides a pair of guest panelists through solving a crossword puzzle live onstage, with everything displayed on a big screen so the audience can follow the action. As the solvers decipher the clues, Zach takes the show down digressive rabbit holes of material 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. You don’t need any crossword expertise to be dazzled by this joyful, nerdy, one-of-a-kind experience!
