The Big Quiz Thing comes to Hoboken

NEW YORK'S PREMIER TRIVIA GAME SHOW CROSSES THE RIVER TO HOBOKEN, NJ, ON MONDAY, APRIL 26, WITH A $100 GRAND PRIZE AND MUCH MORE.

"It might save us from the hell that is karaoke," declared MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. He was talking about The Big Quiz Thing, New York's No. 1 live trivia event, packing in 100-plus hipster-nerd acolytes twice a month for geeky-good multimedia quiz competition. And now the BQT fords the Hudson for its debut in Hoboken, New Jersey, on Monday, April 26, at the Black Bear Bar & Grill, with a $100 grand prize

Quizmaster Noah Tarnow, joined by sidekick-DJ EDP, presents the ultimate video-based test of meaningless information, for the glory of knowing that you possess more useless knowledge than your peers. Highlights include one of the BQT's beloved signature games, Rebuses of the Rich and Famous, plus the audio round, Slooow Songs, along with the famed Lightning Round, the monstrous Three-Way Finale, Smart-Ass Points for amusing but wrong answers, clever banter and nerdy smack-talking. And, of course, fabulous prizes, including $100 in cash and Black Bear gift certificates. Everyone gets to play, everyone gets to laugh.

Over the years, the Big Quiz Thing has established itself as New York's premier source of trivia entertainment. It's entertained in special events and corporate retreats throughout the country, and Quizmaster Noah has hosted stand-up comedy, variety, and burlesque shows throughout New York City and all along the East Coast.

Trivial times call for trivial trivia, and in a culture ruled by bite-size information and prepackaged wisdom, nothing is nobler than a live quiz show. Come see the quiz event that The Village Voice declared "The Best Place to Get in Touch with Your Inner Nerd."

The Big Quiz Thing comes to Hoboken at The Black Bear Bar & Grill, 205 Washington St, Monday, April 26 at 7pm. Admission is a ridiculously cheap $5, and there is a $100 grand prizes. For more info, visit http://bigquizthing.com, or contact quizmaster Noah Tarnow at noah@bigquizthing.com.
