Description:
Jared Logan (from The Glass Cannon, Stream of Blood, Harmonquest, The Late Late Show, Comedy Central and Adam Ruins Everything) returns to GenCon for the fourth year in a row to perform a very interactive hour of stand-up comedy. See the comedian GenCon audiences are calling "way funnier than a 14-hour game of Twilight Imperium."
An amusing and enlightening dive into Heian Era Japan--exploring the legends, lore, and historical events that inspired Jujutsu Kaisen. Great for history buffs, JJK fans, and the sorcery curious!
Description:
Presented in character (as if attendees have found themselves in Heian era japan and require basic orientation/sorcery training to survive). Participants will learn a defense (Kuji-kuri) ritual to protect themselves against cursed spirits. This includes a surprise plot twist--at the end of the panel, they will be confronted by a demon (spoopily costumed Geeks of Wrath Cast member) and have an opportunity to use the skills they've learned. We'll keep it fun and lighthearted, though.
If it's worth anything: John won the NerdCred comedy competition last year and I won it the year before.

Ever seen gamers compete by bluffing their way through trivia? At this event it doesn’t matter what anyone knows, it’s all about how convincingly (or ridiculously) the wrong answer can be defended.
Description:
Watch as a panel of gaming personalities justify wild, absurd, and most importantly incorrect answer options to a range of trivia questions. Based on the Aussie card game Pathological, Liars Trivia Comedy Show brings you lying in ways you've never seen it before. Perfect for trivia lovers, improv fans, and fanatics of bending the truth.
Each round a question will be revealed to the panelists followed by four answer options. First to buzz gets to pick their answer and argue it for thirty seconds. Where do you fit into all of this? The audience not only picks the top two answers but also joins in on the fun during our Bonus Rounds where the panelists will be judging your lies!
Pathological has been picked up for bar trivia across NYC, turned into a Youtube web series with Australian comedy channel Humdinger, and now it’s being brought to Gen Con. Don’t miss your chance to see it live!
Your host Quarex and your other host Ben will turn on the mic and 'cast pod' live from the Marriott! Come join the fun and festivities, and get our opinions while the mics have stopped rolling!
