Crosswords are one of the most jarring ways to reckon with your own intelligence level (or, at least, your knowledge of pop culture), so Zach Sherwin, best known for his writing and performances on the Epic Rap Battles of History YouTube series, came up with a brilliant plan: force a panel of live comics to solve a crossword puzzle live on stage. Each time a comic solves a piece of the puzzle, Sherwin will use the answer as a prompt for nerdy wordplay deep dives. Expect multimedia slide presentations, pop culture trivia, and hip-hop lyrics—logophiles and pedants, sharpen your pencils, 'cuz this one's for you.
