For the record, Quiz Quest is not a pub quiz. Pub quizzes involve boring, drawn-out rounds about news and football and celebrities and current affairs stuff, hosted by an over-zealous compere with an arsenal of gags so godawful they’re prone to leave you spluttering into your pint. According to organisers Jonny Bull and Ben Partridge, Quiz Quest is more of a ‘multimedia pub quiz carnival’. And if you haven’t a clue what that means, watch this video from February’s quiz, which was themed entirely around ‘Stephens’ and was complemented by the hosts’ Terry Gilliam-esque animations.
