It's tough trying to think of a pub quiz team name. Here's some of the better ones we've heard and it's a list that will grow, especially if you send me some good 'uns that you've heard or used.
Warning - some of the stuff on this list is pretty foul so click away to look at something far more pleasant now if you don't like that sort of thing.

“I enjoy performing my quiz as I get to do a bit of everything; I put a bit of stand up in, I sing a lot, and I ask questions. It's a touch anarchic too, and I love it when people get involved in the mayhem with me.”
Jim Davis, Quizmaster, London
“I kind of fell into the quizmastering. I took over from the previous quiz chap as a lark. But found it fun and it helped boost my confidence in public speaking and dealing with people in general.”
Jim Smith, Quizmaster, Glasgow
The Author – a Real-Life Pub Quiz Expert
"From my 12-year experience in the pub quiz game and personally presenting more than 2000 live quiz nights, I'll reveal what works and what doesn’t. Learn from my mistakes, profit from my discoveries.
Some quizmasters just work for beer but with 15 million people socialising in the nation's pubs every week and an estimated 25,000 weekly pub quizzes taking place in the UK alone, there is no doubt that there is a viable marketplace for a professional quizmaster.
After helping other quizmasters get started in Glasgow, I realised that I should put my unique expertise in a book. There is no other book available that gives you step-by-step instructions on making a viable business from being a pub quizmaster.

So why should I buy your book?
You could go it alone and start from scratch like I did, but you’ll find it far easier after you've read about what works and what doesn't.
Being a quizmaster is a brilliant way to make money but you need to know what you're doing.
It took me years to work out the best ways to do things: how to sell a quiz in the first place, and how to negotiate a good price.
I had to learn how to build an audience, how to develop a format for the quiz that keeps the audience coming back every week and how to write questions that work.
Bottom line: I wish I’d had this book when I started out: it would have saved me a lot of time!
"This is the book I wish I'd had when I was starting out as a Quizmaster."
There’s never been a book on this subject before. Now you can learn from my mistakes and benefit from my easy instructions.
This book gives you the shortcuts to 12 years or real-life knowledge and experience.
You could start without it. But don't be one of the quizmasters out there who doesn’t know their own value. Some quizmasters are working too hard for too little pay because they don’t know the important shortcuts to a busy and successful night.
£17.99 is a small one-off fee to when you think of how you’ll soon be pulling in £100 a night.
Until now, there simply hasn’t been a textbook for quizmasters, now there is!
There is simply no other book like this available today.
Quizmasters across the country are having fun and making easy money every week, but I’m the first to put it all down in a book and show you how to do it, step-by-step.
I can’t wait to see you become a successful pub quiz quizmaster.
FAQs: Still wondering if this is for you?
If you're still not sure whether or nor or not you would enjoy being paid good money for speding your night in the pub, here are the answers to some questions you may have.
Q. Don’t I need to spend money on lots of fancy equipment to get started?
A. No. I’ll show you how it’s easy to get started with the absolute minimum of outlay on equipment.
Q. Is there really a market for quizmasters?
A. Yes. Every week in the UK, 15 million people visit the pub. There are 25,000 pub quizzes a week. The Independent newspaper describes Britain as “a nation of quiz addicts.” I made a full-time living from quizmastering. In fact, not only is there a market – but the lack of professional quizmasters means there is a big gap in the market. There is little competition; it’s an open goal.
Q. Do I need to be a trivia whiz to be a quizmaster?
A. No. Having a little bit of general knowledge will help but I’ll show you how to insure yourself against any quiz problems by asking watertight questions. And, at the end of the day - you're the one with the answer sheet!
Q. Don’t I need to be funny?
A. No. Some quizmasters are hilarious but as you’ll learn when you read the book, it’s far more important to be a warm person.
Q. I’VE NEVER DONE THIS KIND OF THING BEFORE!
A. Don’t Worry! My book is a step-by-step guide.

"The pub quiz is more popular than ever. Traders are telling us that this activity is increasingly important to their business. They know they need to get people in every night, and they're aware that pub quizzes are an almost guaranteed means of doing that mid-week, when things are usually quiet.”
Phil Mellows, The Publican(Trade Journal), London
PPS - Don’t just take my word for it – look what the Senior Marketing Manager of Mitchells & Butlers (which runs more than 2000 pubs, bars and restaurants in the UK) has to say:
“The way consumers use pubs is constantly changing and in a very competitive market place we have to look at giving consumers compelling reasons to visit our pubs (over a competitor and or staying at home). Quiz nights are inclusive events that people of different ages, backgrounds and interests can all join in with and are one of a number of tools we employ.”
Matthew Deane, Mitchells & Butlers.

All of the free quiz questions on this site are either written or edited by Dr Paul Quiz and every effort is made to make sure they are correct and keep them up-to-date.
However, please note that you are responsible for checking your own facts before using the questions in in your own event.
This is very important, particularly if its a life or death quiz situation or one which involves either a sum of money or your own reputation.
Facts sometimes change and when dealing with quiz questions from this site and from others you are strongly advised to check the latest information.
This is particularly true of questions that can easily go out of date such as "How old is Europe's oldest man?" or "What is the world record high jump?"
Countries, capitals and flags can sometimes change and, especially in showbiz and celebrity questions, subjects you could comfortably ask about a few years ago are simply no longer relevant to a general audience. The website has been somewhat dormant for a few years and there are a lot of older questions. This will remain the case for a short time while I get some new quiz articles ready for publication.
Use your common sense as a guide to help decide when it's worth looking up a question. If in any doubt, the advice is to look it up yourself.
More information and advice on this subject of checking your facts is available in my e-book How To Make £100 a Night (Or More) As A Pub Quizmaster.
Meanwhile, if you think you've spotted a mistake in any of the questions, or if you want to ask for any clarification about any of the questions, please get in touch, and I will always be happy to hear from you and correct the mistakes.
Cheers,
Dr Paul

DP stands for my name: Dr Paul,
I became Dr Paul when I began quizmastering in the 1996 in Glasgow, Scotland. I loved what I was doing and realised that being a quizmaster was the thing for me.
Following strong demand for own brand of quiz action I became, in the words of the Sunday Herald, a "local legend" and before long there was a chain of live weekly pub quizzes and I needed to hire extra quizmasters to cope with all the gigs.
Through various twists of fate, I ended up quizzing all over Scotland and on the telly and the radio. It's a hard-knock life, not.
Now I've moved to the internet and created DP Quiz. My mission is to help quizmasters get well-paid gigs and keep them and stay on top of their quiz material.
On the ground, my quizzes continue in Edinburgh.
Yes you can.
Being a quizmaster is cool and, luckily for you, I have now written down all of my real-life experience of the pub quiz game into a book: How To Make £100 a Night (or More) as a Pub Quizmaster.As far as I know, there is no other book like it.
