“After seeing the show myself, it was a dream to get the chance to be on the stage. 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.”
Ify Nwadiwe is a comedian, actor, writer, and professional nerd, known for his roles in Dimension 20, Workaholics, and Grand Crew. Ify will portray the ‘Warrior’ from January 3 through January 21.
“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.”
Jack Lepiarz, famously known as “Jacques Ze Whipper,” is a celebrated circus performer and social media personality. Renowned for his whip-cracking stage shows at Renaissance festivals, Jack has captivated over 3 million fans online. He will play the role of ‘Trickster’ from January 9 through January 19.
“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.”
Neil Newbon, winner of The Game Awards’ 2023 Best Performer for his role as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate III, has over 14 years of experience in performance capture and voiceover, with credits in more than 100 games, TV shows, and films. Neil will portray the ‘Mage’ from January 23 through February 4.
