Looking for a non-boring quiz format?
My quizzes are multimedia, engaging and perfect for all occasions, from weddings to corporate events.
I even offer live music and vocals, so I can sing the questions and you can write (or sing!) the answers.
With years of experience hosting quizzes both in person and on the radio, I guarantee a challenging but enjoyable trivia night.
So why settle for your bog-standard pub quiz, when you can have something far more exciting?
Top tip: Ask me about my localised quiz rounds all about the area in and around Wakefield.
What sort of rounds do you offer?
My quiz rounds include, but are not limited to:
“Puzzle” rounds on various topics, including anagrams, crosswords, word games, and more.
Audio rounds including sports commentaries, live vocals, music rounds, and others.
Visual and picture rounds including ‘say what you see’ picture puzzles, flags, and celebrities.
‘Make the Connection’ rounds, where all the answers are linked somehow.
‘This Week in History’ rounds about things that happened on any given week in the past.
‘Specialist Subject’ rounds selected by the event organisers or last week’s losing team!
Classic ‘pub quiz’-style questions on general knowledge and other themes.

Corporate quiz events in Wakefield thrive when they’re friendly, well-structured, and easy to engage with.
This is a city that values approachability, so a corporate quiz here should feel inclusive and relaxed
while still being professionally delivered and well-paced.
Wakefield audiences respond particularly well to quizzes that balance light competition with teamwork.
Clear instructions, varied rounds, and a confident host help keep the room comfortable and focused,
whether the quiz is part of a staff social, conference programme, or client event.
Wakefield venues that work especially well for corporate quiz events include:
The Hepworth Wakefield – distinctive and modern, ideal for creative corporate socials.
Waterton Park Hotel – elegant and well-suited to formal business events.
The Red Shed – flexible, central, and great for interactive team quizzes.
Holiday Inn Wakefield – practical, professional, and reliable for corporate gatherings.
Tileyard North – contemporary and perfect for forward-thinking company events.
These venues complement my corporate quiz format by offering good acoustics,
adaptable layouts, and spaces where teams can interact comfortably.
That allows the quiz to feel seamless and engaging without interrupting the wider flow of the event.
In Wakefield, a great corporate quiz feels easy to take part in and rewarding to play.
Keep it clear, well-hosted, and inclusive, and it becomes a highlight rather than a hurdle.
