Sat 27th: 0900-1200 – Quiz Hosting Session 1

Hosting a quiz is about making it a live event, and delivering a clear, well-understood evening of competition and enjoyment for all.

Over this 3-hour session, we will look at the following aspects of giving people a cracking quiz:

· Pre-Quiz

· Introduction & clarity

· Pace and rhythm

· Time-keeping

· Audience rapport for private & corporate events

· House Style & communication

· Marking

· Announcing the results

Interrupt the Routine has won awards for its quizzes. They have delivered over 1,000 of them with subjects ranging from general knowledge, the 6 Nations, Black History Month, International Women’s Day, Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, Toasties and Electric Vehicles of the Future.

Those attending will work in pairs, groups and present individually to the room, learning new skills or evolving existing talents. We’re looking to assemble a group of hosts who can deliver to our standards and help bring great quizzes to regular nights, along with private and corporate options.

Those deemed at an advanced stage and willing to take on feedback will be invited to attend the 2nd session on the Sunday (0900-1200) where we will work with a smaller group of people to get what hopefully will be an initial team of hosts to start off our events roster with.

To attend, sign up NOW! Space is very limited.

Attendance is free by kind organisation and support from The Eventure Collective. Robert Blackwood appears courtesy of Interrupt the Routine.
