In THE CROSSWORD SHOW, 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, all inspired by the answer words, and everything 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!
