Struck A Nerve: The Pop Culture Mixtape (Game Over Edition)

Struck A Nerve: The Pop Culture Mixtape is a show that takes place the 3rd Monday of every month at Wild Goose Creative in Columbus, OH. Hosted by Dustin Meadows, the show features comics, writers and other talented individuals tackling topics in popular culture ranging from comic books to movies to video games and so forth and so on, as well as sketching tables run by local artists before each show starts. The only rule is no stand-up, so the show utilizes essays, mixed media presentations and character sketches to bring humor and maybe even a little bit of poignancy to the cultural texts that we love so much.
