Millions of people curse Wyna Liu's name every morning over four rows of Connections, and here she explains the craft to a comedian paid to make it funny. Negin Farsad, a Wait Wait panelist and Thurber Prize nominee, runs the interview in Caveat's nerdy basement bar-theatre. If you share your Connections score in a group chat, this is your event of the weekend.
What to expect
A seated conversation show on Caveat's small stage: a host sets it up, then Farsad interviews Liu with jokes, tangents and questions about how puzzles are made. Caveat is a bar as well as a stage, so drinks are part of the evening.
Good to know
- Advance tickets are cheaper than paying at the door.
- F to Delancey St or J/M/Z to Essex St, then a short walk to Clinton Street.
- Good for puzzle fans who want an evening talk with laughs rather than straight stand-up.
- Caveat is a bar venue, so plan to order drinks.
