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?
A professional quizmaster is far more than someone who reads questions from a card. At their best, a quizmaster is an entertainer, a host, and a room manager all at once – someone who can read the energy of a crowd, keep the evening moving, handle the unexpected with confidence, and make every guest feel like they’re part of something genuinely fun.
A great quiz night isn’t just about the questions. It’s about the moments between them – the banter, the reactions, the carefully timed reveal, the music round that has half the room on their feet before they’ve even noticed. That’s the difference between a quiz that people tolerate and one they talk about the following week.
I provide bespoke quiz experiences for corporate events, wedding receptions, charity fundraisers, private parties, and pub nights – covering everything from classic general knowledge formats to specialist music rounds, game show-style events, and my signature Sing the Song Wrong round. Every quiz is written specifically for the occasion, tailored to the audience, and delivered with the energy and professionalism that twenty years of performance experience makes possible.
Based in Addingham, Wharfedale, I host quiz nights across Yorkshire and the wider North of England – from Leeds city centre to rural Dales pubs, from corporate boardrooms to village halls. If you need a quizmaster who can genuinely make a room come alive, you’re in the right place.
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.

With over five years of professionalism within the wedding and funeral industries, and over twenty years of performing experience, I know what makes an event work.
I can ensure that YOUR event is tailored to YOU, and hosted with confidence and charm.
