'The Crossword Show'

If you love puzzles, you will love The Crossword Show. Host Zach Sherwin (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) presides over comedians — this week includes Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman) and Emily Heller (Barry) — solving an actual crossword puzzle live on stage, with everything displayed on a big screen so the audience can follow along. Sherwin takes the audience on a journey through rabbit holes of trivia, music, and comedy; he calls it a blend of the New York Times crossword and Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me – sounds like something LAist listeners would be super into!
