About funny quiz
Hi. Jono here once more. Funny Quiz is exactly what it claims to be - serious trivia, hosted by comedians. I’m a quiz nerd (see below) and fully-functioning stand up comedian (see further below). There is nobody better qualified in the world to do this.
What is “this”?
Funny Quiz has music, it has laughs, it has prizes. Basically everything a person needs to function*.
Every single question is written from scratch and each quiz event is crafted based on the unique demographic characteristics of the place and the people of the event. There’s no one-size-fits-all.
We are as South Australian as Anne Wills necking a carton of Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee. So there’s no questions about rugby union, Sydney breakfast radio shows or Shannon Noll (ok, there was one time and I immediately apologised to all those in attendance).
Funny Quiz exists to put smiles on faces. We have achieved hundreds of smiles through weekly pub trivia and funraising quiz nights for sporting clubs, community groups, schools and charities. We’d love to see many thousands more though, so please get in touch to see how we can make it happen.

I guess like all 9 year old boys, I insisted that our family watch Sale of the Century at 7pm every weeknight.
By the time I was 12, I swore I was good enough to get on it and win my fortune with Glenn Ridge and Nicky Buckley. Sadly it never happened.
I did manage to get on three national TV quizzes though and here is the sorry tale of how they went:
HEAD2HEAD (2006): $50 ABC Shop voucher
MILLION DOLLAR MINUTE (2014): $1500
THE CHASE (2016): $0

I first attempted stand up comedy at 18 years old, making jokes about farts and stuff. Twenty years later I made a return to comedy and found that my life experiences had given me the ability to write even better, more poignant fart jokes. Here’s some things that have happened since:
2023 Adelaide Fringe - SOLD OUT Tinder's Least Wanted
2022 Adelaide Fringe - SOLD OUT Every Now and Then I Fall Apart
2021 Raw Comedy Finalist
"Audience interaction is brilliant" - Hi-Fi Way
"Comedy Gold" - Kids in Adelaide
