Update 18/8/09

Still having a ball doing trivia events - so much fun and I meet fabulous people every night. Thanks for coming along.

Regular gigs are:
 * Mondays - Pagewood Hotel in Maroubra.
 * Tuesdays - Time & Tide Hotel in Dee Why.

Games begin at 7.30pm at both venues and are normally finished by 9.30pm or so. I'd love to see you at one of these trivia nights - I'm sure you'll get a buzz, as I do.


"Turps has been doing our trivia nights now for two years, and his personality and energy keeps the ever growing audience extremely happy. Loads of fun and great questions means an exciting night for everyone."

I'm doing lots of private trivia nights lately, so please email if you'd like details. A great idea for Christmas parties or special events. I usually supply the questions (let me know if you have a specific topic you'd like to feature, i.e. history, sports, movies, etc.) and can bring along answer sheets - let me know how many people you're expecting.

Love to all, Turps x
