‘It's a mad show - it's a quiz, it's interactive, it's drag, it's beautiful anarchy' - Run Riot Magazine

Our big, FREE, launch celebration at The Old Gay is BACK with a new twist!

Join us for an evening of Queer chaos where trivia meets theatrics with the unparalleled Mr. Teds, renowned for his sharp wit and flamboyant flair, this isn't your average pub quiz. Prepare for a night brimming with scandalous questions, unexpected performances, and a touch of cheek.

Teams will vie for the coveted prize of a ‘very average’ bottle of sparkling wine, with egos on the line and free shots fuelling the competitive spirit. Whether you're there to test your knowledge or simply soak in the outrageous atmosphere, gather a table (maximum teams of 6 players), agonise over your team name and witness an unforgettable experience where the only certainty is delightful chaos.

With a background of performing across the world including at Duckie, Underbelly and Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow, Mr. Teds brings the full force of his creativity to curate a quiz night for the ages. Expect scandal, hair spray, and heels he has no business staying on.

HVP’s legendary DJ Red Helen will spin tunes and soundtrack the night!
