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.

Even though it has been years since we’ve starting going and marveling at The Crossword Show with Zach Sherwin and its wizardry with words, it’s still remains as one of the most amazing feats of verbal gymnastics that we’ve ever seen in our whole tenure at TCB.

For the uninitiated, Sherwin has excellent comedians on a panel try to solve a very, very fun crossword on stage (along with the audience) and then offers truly mind-bending explanations for the answers and connections to other answers/hints. It’s one of the most enjoyable rides down a rabbit hole that we’ve had at a live show.

Sherwin is gearing up for four editions of The Crossword Show at Dynasty Typewriter this coming October on Wednesdays (10/6, 10/13, 10/20, & 10/27 all at 7:30PM PT). Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of (proof of vaccination required). Please go get your tickets right now right here.
