Social distancing in the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic is preventing Show Off! from going forward in its usual form. In light of this difficult situation – and also keeping in mind the need for safe social interaction within the Show Off! community – we plan to hold the first-ever Show Off! pub quiz on Friday 27 March 2020, which should have been a regular Show Off! night.
Nathan Martin and Tasha Sheridan will be hosting the quiz, with Show Off! producer Sue Knox and front-of-house manager Josh Kelly managing the event.
There will be a small fee of £5 per person to take part in the quiz. Prizes are set to include free entry to Show Off! once it is able to proceed as a live event once again.
Some details of the quiz night still need to be finalised, but the overall plan is as follows:
- Anyone who wishes to participate can sign up using the PayPal link below, which allows participants to choose the email address with which they will submit their entries. Users can enter as teams of up to three people, but each person will need to sign up for the quiz.
- Entries will close at 7:30 p.m. London time on Friday 27 March.
- No later than 7:45 p.m. on Friday 27 March, Show Off! will send answer sheets to the email address provided with each entry, along with joining details for the event (which will likely use the Zoom platform).
- At 8:00 p.m., the event will go live. The first round of the quiz will start around 8:15 p.m.
- There will be at least four rounds, with 15 questions each. The rounds will all relate in some way to musical theatre, and one will be about Show Off! specifically. There may also be some bonus questions. Questions will be designed to be hard to answer using search engines.
- The answer sheet for each round will need to be submitted within two minutes after the round ends. They can be submitted as a photo of the answer sheet, a scanned PDF of the sheet, or an email with the answers in the text of the message.
- Marking will take place during and immediately after the quiz, with winners to be announced while the event is still live. The judges’ decision is final.
- The main prize for winning will be bragging rights, but there will also be at least one prize in the form of free entry to Show Off! once it is able to proceed as a live event once again.
Any questions ahead of the event should be directed to our Enquiries email address.
