After the last two or so years, you’ve probably gotten into crossword puzzles or some form of them or even just had a period of quarantine where you got into it because you were looking something that wasn’t the news.

With all of that said, the mystery of crossword puzzles doesn’t just have to be limited to solving it over coffee or while on break or while hiding the bathroom during your 15. The ever clever Zach Sherwin has devised both one of the most astonishing displays of linguistics and a damn fun live show where a panel of comedians (and the audience) solve a crossword puzzle in real time. Sherwin exquisitely weaves master level wordplay, original rap, and so much more into an experience that will leave you dazzled and wondering, for quite some time, how he came up with all of it.

Zach is bringing The Crossword Show out east to LES’ favorite comedy venue, Caveat in NYC on Tues. Jul. 19th & Wed. Jul. 20th at 7PM ET. Tickets are $15 and you can (and should) go get them here.
