| FREE PARKING! Surely the best bit of the show! The venue is upstairs at The Duke Of Beaufort Public House, opposite "The Pepper Pot" on Queens Park Road. There are no parking restrictions around Muesli Mountain and Hanover/ Southover Street side of the pub, but I would recommend arriving by Zeppelin or Stannah Stairlift as it's up a big hill. There is also an area upstairs to put prams so that they don't get clamped and towed away if left outside by our reasonable local authority. |
| Sit back, relax and don't fret! That's my job!! The pub quizz swizz is designed not to tax any brain cells, and knowledge can hold you back in this show. It's adults vs children, with different questions, tasks, and lunacy for each team. You can also bring your own question to get extra points in the "Ask Boris McSquirter" round! If you don't want to participate, bring a book! It's my job to tire the children out so you can have a peaceful evening when they crash out early at home. Where's my O.B.E for outstanding services to the wine growers association for sales to lucky parents? Need tickets? Just look below. Disclaimers, small print. Right of entry reserved. Full public liability insurance provided by Equity actors union. All electrical items used in the Dinky Disco have been fully PAT Certificated by a qualified electrician, and are in date. If the bouncy castle is used, it is separately insured and complies with safety limits imposed on it when used at a licenced premises. All are available for inspection upon request. Why is the serious stuff all ways in italics at the bottom? |
| Astounding entertainment! The quizz is a big party show, and will be the ideal place for your family to learn in an informal manner about a broad range of sounds in the music rounds! Who can stay awake the longest as I play the full version of The Orb's "Blue Room?" Which team can recreate "Dark Side Of The Moon" with the items found in a local skip? And watch as your children lose the will to live as their eyes gloss over at the extreme low-tech disco set-up as you still refuse to give them their Nintendo DSi back. Let's teach the kids nothing! |
| Win prizes! Balloons! & Magic! Unbelievably, everybody will get a prize at the Pub Quizz Swizz, be it a packet of Smart Price cup-a-soup, a sculptured balloon of Junction 7 of the M23, or even something else of nominal value that I might get out of the Friday-Ad or a boot sale between now and then. It's a shocking act of generosity on my behalf, but after the row I had with trading standards about the million pound giveaway (a lucky dip lottery ticket), you get something to treasure from the afternoon that will last for a couple of hours before it gets broken. |
| What is this nonsense all about? Join Allen Key ("We put all of the pieces of the entertainment together for you"), Brighton's 8th best children entertainer Tommy Tickle & his tone deaf musicmeister DJ Bubblewrap and the Dinky Disco for the Brighton Fringe Festival "The Pub Quizz Swizz". It's an entertainment show mixing my successful children's party act that adults find funny too, with the world's most bizarre quizz linked into it - think of Shooting Stars meets The Simpsons with a bit of Antiques Roadshow thrown in. If you don't like those things, think of Cagney & Lacey meets TISWAS, with a bit of When The Boat Comes In thrown out for good measure. |

| When and where is it? It's upstairs at the Duke Of Beaufort, Queens Park Road, Brighton. There will be a separate bar upstairs for the event serving adult and children's drinks, and the kitchen will be open too and we will be able to serve food in the interval. Have a look at the menu below, you can order in advance. We have averaged 50 people per show so far, so if you get there a bit earlier, you can get served first! The performance times are 3.00 - 5.00 pm. Get tickets from the Brighton Fringe website, or down below for slightly better deals. Saturday May 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd. Sunday May 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd. |
| Happy Hour during the show! Being a parent costs an arm and a leg as it is, so the wonderful management at The Beaufort have a lot of pints at £2.50 each (available only at the downstairs bar, everything else is available upstairs). Reflecting the prices in 2004, that is also where the majority of the material from the act comes from. There are also separate children/parent only toilets upstairs for the show, and there is space for the children to have dance about and play music based games with DJ Bubblewrap. |
| Special Meal Deal At The Duke Of Beaufort! Raj and his talented chefs have offered a cracking cheap alternative to the traditional Sunday roast. When the shows are on, you can order the following that are special priced items when the show is only on; Really mild child Korma chicken/ lamb dish or vege option £2.50 Adult size Korma chicken/ lamb or vege option £4.00 Want something more? Well here the main menus below....enjoy! |

DJ Bubblewrap lives up to his name, by turning on a
machine that gives so much excitement to the younger
generation; a television, that's currently out of shot.

Fun fun fun with Tommy Tickle as children get to draw his
stupid clown face on all over his chops. Look at happy
child's face compared to the one of pain on the clowns due
to the fact the lipstick was running on the very sharp plastic
rim of the holder. The child had actually written "Travelling
Charlatan" on Tickle's forehead, and received a standing
ovation from the board at the local Trading Standards office.

Three out of four generations of family are entertained at
the same time, proving Tommy Tickle's an all-rounder.
Although "Pilsbury", the baby in the foreground, seems to
be on the same plane of existence as his lunatic
great-grandmother "Crazy Daisy" at the back who later had
to be removed from the show for safety reasons. Drunken
nudity is never acceptable in a pub. The mum, "Flower
Power Hippyshake McNuggets Smith" forgot the baby after
the show as she was too busy playing on-line bingo on her
mobile phone. Pilsbury is now being well looked after by a
family that purchased him from me on eBay.

Kids look really happy as the show nears it's end, and they
can finally see the exit door slowly being lit up and they will
soon be free to run into the arms of trained therapists who
comfort all people who come to the show.

DJ Bubblewrap still picking on the poor hapless teenager
from the audience, offered as a sacrifice by other ticket
holders in a vain hope that they wouldn't be picked. In the
end, everybody was picked and no-one is the same now.

It's over now, I'm afraid! A large fank oo to everybody who turned up and made the show what it was...rubbish. I
blame the audiences. 8 shows. Four sold out. Two half full, and two completely empty because of fantastic
weather and larger events going on in a park across town. Not bad for a first time venture, one that will definitely
be repeated next year! See you at the 2011 Brighton Fringe.
