Hey! I’m doing this game show tonight at the Pack Theater. There’s a published author on every show and this month, it’s me! Tickets here! I will talk about my book Restart Me Up: The Unofficial Un-Accurate Oral History of Windows 95.

Idiomatic is a panel show about words, phrases, and why we say things the way we do. You know what it means if something is ‘in your wheelhouse,’ but what IS a wheelhouse?

Each episode contains games that the audience can play along with from their seats, from Decoding Diner Slang to thinking of Words that Don’t Rhyme to answering the eternal question, “Is It French?’, as well as the Idiomatic round in which our teams are quizzed about the origins of common phrases, like the original product to give you more “Bang for Your Buck”, finding out who uses “Ballpark Figures”, and which president we have to thank for “Booze”.

The game is hosted by Rob Schultz and played by two teams of three guest panelists, at least one of which is guaranteed to be a published author!
