Big Comedy Quiz Show - Seagoe Hotel, Portadown

What to Expect

The Big Comedy Quiz Show comes to the Seagoe Hotel in Portadown on Friday 21 August, blending a stand-up comedy night with a live quiz format. The touring show is hosted by comedian Zara Tweed with co-host Adam Mogey, billed as a mash-up of quick wit, oddball challenges and quiz rounds rather than a straight pub quiz. Expect audience participation, running jokes between rounds and a few surprises worked in by the hosts as the night goes on.

The event runs from 8:00pm to 11:30pm, giving plenty of time for several rounds interspersed with comedy material from the two hosts. It is aimed at an adult crowd out for a Friday night rather than a family quiz, and teams or solo entrants are both catered for on the night. The Seagoe Hotel’s function suite regularly hosts touring comedy and entertainment nights, so the room is set up for a proper stage-and-seating comedy club layout rather than a standard hotel bar quiz, with a PA system and lighting rig for the hosts.

Because the format leans on live audience interaction, expect to be pulled into a round or two rather than left to sit quietly at the back. The organisers describe the night as combining “quick wit, ridiculous challenges, and laugh-out-loud moments,” so it suits a group of friends or a work night out looking for something more active than a straight stand-up bill. Doors are expected to open ahead of the 8:00pm start to allow tables to settle before the first round.
