Join us for an interactive night of comedy meets trivia: Cheating, swearing, and giving up are encouraged. Everybody loses! Honestly, it’s probably better if you don’t ask questions and just grab your friends some tickets. It’s one of those “you had to be there” things. But possibly even weirder, as it involves what Jon calls “the worst board game made in our lives.” We’re going to play one of the most difficult and baffling board games of all time about early 90s Aussie heart throb, soap and pop star Jason Donovan. Can you win dumb trivia? Can you beat beloved Australian heartthrob Jason Donovan? Come find out.
Tickets: $25 advance, $35 door
