Comedy & quizzery . . . together at last! Here’s how the fun happens – ShanRock hosts a round of trivia with a comic by her side, riffing on her questions, while the audience writes down their answers. At the end of the round, the comic does a set of stand-up, then prizes are awarded to the highest scoring team. Then there’s another round of trivia with a different wise-ass busting on ShanRock’s next batch of questions, followed by more comedy and prizes, and a final round of quizzery. Maximum team size is six, though you may have a larger team in exchange for point penalties.

A small but awesome trophy will be awarded to the highest scoring team of the night. Prizes include tickets to Dana Gould, BarFly Bus passes, gift certificates to Grand Central Bow and more. Join the fun!
