Derry Big Comedy Quiz Show
At Everglades Hotel · Prehen Road, Derry, Co. Derry
At Everglades Hotel · Prehen Road, Derry, Co. Derry
A comedy quiz show with a twist - this is less pub-quiz-night and more a full live performance where the quiz is the excuse for the chaos. Hosted by Zara Tweed and co-host Adam Mogey, the Derry Big Comedy Quiz Show runs for three and a half hours of wild quiz rounds, unexpected twists, and audience participation that rewards quick wit as much as general knowledge. If you enjoy a night out that involves laughing at the people on stage as much as competing, this is a good fit. It suits groups of friends, work nights out, and anyone who fancies something livelier than a standard gig.
The show runs from 8:00pm to 11:30pm and is billed as comedy, competition, and “absolute carnage.” Hosts Zara Tweed and Adam Mogey drive the evening with quiz rounds that veer into ridiculous territory - audience banter and spontaneous moments are part of the format, not a side act. Special guest appearances are promised, though the lineup is not announced in advance. The emphasis throughout is on entertainment over competition; you are there to be part of the show, not just to answer questions at a table. Tickets are required and non-refundable, so book when you are sure of your plans.
The Everglades Hotel sits on Prehen Road on the western edge of Derry, roughly two kilometres from the city centre, on the banks of the River Foyle. The hotel has its own car park on site, which makes driving the most straightforward option. If you are coming by public transport, Translink Bus services run from Foyle Street bus station into the Prehen Road area - check the Translink journey planner for the most up-to-date times. From Belfast, the A6 brings you into Derry in around an hour and a half. From Dublin, the M1 to Newry and then the A1 and A6 is the most direct road route, around two hours under normal conditions.
Derry is a city worth a full day if you have the time - the walled city, the Peace Bridge, and the Bogside murals are all within easy walking distance of the centre. The night out at the Everglades can anchor a weekend away as easily as a standalone evening trip. There is more to see in Derry and across Co. Derry.
