We at Nerdist personally adore DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern; we gave it five stars and two nat 20s up. The immersive theatrical experience really captures everything we love about Dungeons & Dragons and combines it with everything we adore about live theater. There’s honestly no energy in a room quite like the energy that comes when you and a group of strangers, who are now your quest party, which is basically like being your best friends, combine your powers to take down a monster of your own creation. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern is an epic thrill on a random Tuesday… but it’s about to get even more exciting. Three new Featured Players will join the production in January, and they are Ify Nwadiwe (Dimension 20, Workaholics, and Grand Crew), Jack Lepiarz (known as “Jacques Ze Whipper”) and Neil Newbon (Baldur’s Gate 3, Final Fantasy XVI, Resident Evil Village). Excuse us while we attempt to contain our glee.
Nerdist readers might be familiar with Ify Nwadiwe because he recently guest-starred on Geek & Sundry‘s Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode show, to the great delight of our viewers. If you haven’t watched him in action yet, you’re surely missing out. Neil Newbon, of course, likely needs no introduction after his incredible turn as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3. We assume he won’t be playing Asatrion (darling) in The Twenty-Sided Tavern, but we have no doubt he’ll have something incredible up his sleeves. Meanwhile, we can also only imagine the frenzy Jack Lepiarz (otherwise, as mentioned, known as “Jacques Ze Whipper”) will whip the audience into. If you’ve been waiting to attend DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern, this feels like your sign to roll for initiative and go check it out.
The official description of The Twenty-Sided Tavern shares that it is “an immersive theatrical experience that combines the magic of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS with the excitement of live performance. Audience members are not just spectators but active participants, guiding the story and determining the fate of the characters. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or new to the world of role-playing games, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern promises an unforgettable journey.” And that basically sums it up, but it cannot begin to capture the hilarity, wonder, and sense of kinship, love, and unity that is at The Twenty-Sided Tavern will engender in you.
But when should you attend to see your favorite Featured Players in action, well Ify Nwadiwe (a professional nerd, known for his roles in Dimension 20, Workaholics, and Grand Crew) will portray the ‘Warrior’ from January 3 through January 21.
Meanwhile, Jack Lepiarz (a celebrated circus performer and social media personality, renowned for his whip-cracking stage shows at Renaissance festivals) will play the role of ‘Trickster’ from January 9 through January 19.
Finally, Neil Newbon (who has credits in more than 100 games, TV shows, and films) will portray the ‘Mage’ from January 23 through February 4.
