2025 will be the most eventful year yet for Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern…only only will the show kick off its nationwide tour, but three new members will join the party: Ify Nwadiwe, Jack Lepiarz and Neil Newbon.
Of the three, Ify Nwadiwe has the most past experience with this exact thing: he’s performed roles on Dimension 20, Workaholics, and Grand Crew. On TST, he’ll play the ‘Warrior’ from January 3 through January 21. “After seeing the show myself, it was a dream to get the chance to be on the stage,” says Nwadiwe, “It’s a mix of all of my favorite things: comedy, storytelling, and D&D,” said Nwadiwe “It’s an honor to join the cast and join the fun on stage.”
Jack Lepiarz is more famously known online as “Jacques Ze Whipper.” Professionally, he’s a circus performer who’s performed at Renaissance festivals, but he’s also gained a following through his social media videos. He will play the role of ‘Trickster’ from January 9 through January 19. “I’ve been smitten with D&D since I was a kid,” said Lepiarz. “And getting a chance to play it and entertain people at the same time is an honor and a privilege.”
Neil Newbon is a voice actor, perhaps most known for his role as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate III, for which he won Best Performer at the 2023 Game Awards. He will portray the ‘Mage’ from January 23 through February 4. “After the thrilling experience of working on Baldur’s Gate 3 I was so happy to be asked to step back into the world of Dungeons & Dragons– this time on stage,” said Newbon. “I can’t wait to share this adventure with the audience.”
The Twenty-Sided Tavern is a production that’s been running in New York these past few months. Officially licensed by Wizards of the Coast, it’s enough of a success that the run in NYC has been extended and a nationwide tour is being planned. It’s a liveplay D&D campaign that’s truly live: each member of the audience loads a browser-based app called Gamiotics that allows them to vote on which way the story will go next. They vote on what characters appear, what they encounter, and what incidents befall them. There are even moments when members of the audience are invited upstage to participate in games like trivia, charades, and Fantasy Beer Pong.
The U.S. National Tour for Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern will launch May 2025 with the full list of tour cities to be announced at a later time.
