The Last Quiz Night On Earth
by Box Of Tricks

 Sunday 23rd February at 5pm
 
“The End of the World Quiz waits for no man, literally. Onwards ever onwards to our fiery decline. Round Three…”
It’s the end of the world. The last night on earth. An asteroid is heading straight for us. Fancy going out with a bang?
It’s the final countdown. Landlady Kathy invites you to the last quiz night on earth with Quizmaster Rav. He’s the host with the most. But with time ticking, some unexpected guests turn up out of the blue. Bobby wants to settle old scores and Fran wants one last shot at love. Expect the unexpected to the bitter end.
Following two sold-out tours of Chip Shop Chips, Box of Tricks brings explosive new pre-apocalyptic comedy The Last Quiz Night on Earth to your local. So grab a drink and join us for a night you won’t forget with plenty of drama. Let’s get quizzical, quizzical! 
Presented by Box Of Tricks
 


"With an excellent blend of humour, pathos and quiz-mastery this is a good story, well told. It is a gem of a show. The only question remaining is how would you spend your last night on earth?" - Moses Kabunga - Quayslife.com

We have pleasure in telling you that this is a Dementia Friendly performance. Please get in touch if you need more information.



As with all our Performances, you pay what you decide after taking part.
