Match Game Live - Sept. 27, 8 PM - Bowery Poetry Club
(every FOURTH SUNDAY of the month)
Match Game Live has had a refreshing summer break full of Quaaludes and disco music. All summer we remained perched precariously near the edge of a pool of our own vomit. And we are relieved to be going back to work for you, our lovely audience and contestants. Village Voice big shot Michael Musto returns to the fold along with Sara Benincasa, Jessica Delfino, and hilarious newcomers Joe Garden, John DeVore, and Claudia Cogan.
We ask contestants to match the panel by supplying the missing word from an innuendo-loaded sentence. Contestants will be selected from the audience to compete for fabulous prizes. Come play a game of wordplay and humor while laughing your blank off.
Oh, Charles! (Original Match Game clip)
