The Big Quiz Thing Returns to Philly, with More Music Trivia  |
| |
According to The Onion, it’s “a live game show that favors the idiosyncratic and strange, offering several immersive hours that add up to something more than a middlebrow excuse to drink beer.” It’s The Big Quiz Thing, the country’s No. 1 live trivia event, packing in 150-plus hipster-nerd acolytes twice a month for geeky-good competition. After a wildly successful area debut last April, the BQT brings its multimedia game-show spectacular back to Philadelphia for another special music trivia blowout at World Cafe Live, with a big $200 grand prize.
Quizmaster Noah Tarnow, joined by sidekick EDP, presents the ultimate high-tech, video-based test of meaningless musical information, for the glory of knowing that you possess more useless knowledge than your fellow rock nerds. Highlights include the BQT’s beloved signature games (this edition featuring The World’s Ugliest Musicians, plus the return of the Pop-Music Thesaurus, along with Three Degrees of Musical Separation), in addition to the, the Three-Way Finale, clever banter, audience smack-talking, and so much more. Plus, fabulous prizes, including $200 in cash, books, DVDs, Big Quiz Thing T-shirts and more. And even when players can’t hazard a guess, there’s hope: If a wrong answer makes the crowd laugh, it’s marked correct and earns a Smart-Ass Point. Everyone plays, everyone laughs.
Since 2002, the Big Quiz Thing has established itself as New York's premier source of trivia entertainment. It's entertained in special events and corporate retreats throughout the country, and Quizmaster Noah has hosted stand-up comedy, variety, and burlesque shows all along the East Coast.
Trivial times call for trivial trivia, and in a culture ruled by bite-size information and prepackaged wisdom, nothing rocks harder than the Big Quiz Thing.
The Big Quiz Thing presents an all-music team-trivia challenge at World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Tuesday, August 10 at 8pm. Admission is a mere $10, and there is a $200 cash grand prize; buy tickets at worldcafelive.com. For more info, visit bigquizthing.com, or contact quizmaster Noah Tarnow at noah@bigquizthing.com.
