What is MATCH GAME LIVE?
Match Game Live is a staged version of the campiest, kitschiest TV game show that ever was, where contestants play a game of innuendo and wordplay and audiences laugh their _BLANK_ off. Contestants will be selected from the audience to compete for fabulous prizes. (With the price of admission, audience members will be able to enter their name in the drawing for contestants.) Match Game Live is written and hosted by gay comic and musician Ben Lerman, who has appeared on LOGO and hereTV.

What is the MATCH GAME?
The Match Game was a campy game show that aired in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. During the game, two contestants compete to match celebrities' answers to fill-in-the-blank questions. Reaching its campy heyday in the 1970s, starting with Match Game 73, The Match Game is best remembered for its outrageous celebrity panel and the bawdy and sometimes rowdy humor involving contestants trying to match six celebrities. Recently, The Match Game was rebranded as The Snatch Game on RuPaul’s Drag Race, assuring its place in the camp canon.
