Being a Quiz Master can be great fun and if you’re good enough, it can be pretty lucrative! Also, you get to socialise as you entertain people, you are your own boss and you can do it in addition to your ‘real’ job. Pub quizzes are as popular as ever and their popularity continues to grow. Millions of people attend quiz nights every week, so there’s a big demand for great Quiz Masters.

-
a great imagination
-
to be comfortable presenting in front of a crowd of people
-
a good sense of humour
-
basic computer skills
