I am a sucker for a Pub Quiz. I usually
compete in at least one a week, so to have a chance to review a show
that IS a Pub Quiz, I fought tooth and nail to get the chance to
play, err I mean review this show.
Stage D’Or have got the idea to run this
actually in the bar at The Green Room, so the normal hustle and
bustle is replicated, but this is where the norm stops, as the quiz
itself, well, marks are awarded for right answers, even more points
are awarded for funny inventive but wrong answers and blatant
cheating and flirting with the quizmaster, the smooth and charming
Alex Dee, rewarded with a whole shed full of points.
Spot prizes are on offer throughout this
fun bit of nonsense and the winning (!) team win a valuable (!!)
prize.
This was a really good laugh throughout,
and even if you are not a huge fan of Pub Quizzes it doesn’t
matter, there can be few better ways of spending an hour during the
Fringe in the early afternoon.
So how many stars should I give this show?
Given their encouragement to cheating, it’ll no doubt end up with
six anyway. On a sad note my team didn’t win, so Mr Dee could not
be accused of trying to curry favour!!
