Form and Style

Quizaret is presented as a meshing of Quiz show and Cabaret.

The performance is hosted by experienced and talented performers MC Bec Wilson and Scott Chocolate and a series of guest spots by the Quizaret crew.

Rounds of general knowledge questions are asked with small prizes for correct answers during the night.

Between each round, a variety of cabaret acts are presented including circus skills, music, comedy, magic etc.

A grand prize of ‘The Big Golden Pencil’ is presented to the best quizzer at the end in the five person Quizaret finale.

Quizaret performances aims at general family friendly shows with the questions mostly general knowledge. The Quizaret format allows theme flexibility that can be incorporated with specific acts and questions targeting different audiences.

There is also an opportunity for members of the community to participate in development and staging workshops leading up to the event with view to joining in to perform their skills/acts in 5 minute showcase guest spots as part of the Quizaret.

Community Engagement

The performance allows audiences to participate in the show through quiz sections.

We know there’s a lot of talented people out there and we know there’s not always the opportunity to show off these talents.

Quizaret creators Bec and Scott would like to extend an opportunity for members of the community to participate in workshops leading up to the event with a view to join in and performing their skills/act.

We would ask for expressions of interest from local communities to participate in workshops in the week leading up to the Quizaret performance. This gives an opportunity to workshop and present ideas and “audition” their acts/songs/dance etc.

REVIEWS

“Beck Wilson and Scott Henman are pioneers of performance, having the imagination to create a show concept that I, and most of us, have never heard of before. Quizaret is the lovechild of all things astonishing and whimsical- moving from one act to the next and truly leaving the audience wondering, What will happen next?…. When Mariah opens her mouth magic spills out, evoking emotions that I was not expecting to feel on an unassuming Friday night. Those that beheld Mariah’s performance were left awestruck and misty-eyed, revelling in the all-consuming beauty and talent that her presence and voice floods the room with….the true power of Quizaret. …little bouts of joy and magic that went hand in hand with the unpredictability… enjoy the charming madness that is Quizaret.” – Excerpt from Fringe World online review, Jesse Hilcox, Quizaret at Camelot Theatre Fringe World 2022

“What an awesome idea, combining a pub quiz with a cabaret show. 5 Stars! Loved being a part of the show and also sitting back and enjoying some exceptional performances!” – FringeFeed review, Howard. Feb 2022
