Like Minds featuring Thomas Middleditch, Asher Perlman, Andrea Coleman, and Sara Schaefer
March 21 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Like Minds is a comedy quiz show that takes the fact-filled fun of a pub quiz and combines it with the quick-witted comedy of an improv show. Host Joey Bland (W&M ’00) (Improvised Shakespeare Company, Jeopardy!) takes four hilarious comedian competitors and faces them off in a head-to-head trivia match along with lots of help from the audience! It’s like if Jeopardy & Taskmaster had a really smart baby. The show is produced by Greg Hess (W&M ‘03).
