Popular Trivia Game Show and Live Podcast THE QUIZ BOX Comes to Cincinnati

KTC_The Quiz Box logoFor the past six years, comedy and trivia fans in Columbus, Ohio have been gathering monthly to laugh and win prizes at their favorite local game show, The Quiz Box, and now, for the first time ever, the show is hitting the road to Cincinnati.

Co-hosts Erik Tait (as seen on Penn & Teller: Fool Us) and Nickey Winkelman (as seen on Laughs TV) along with podcast producer Kevin Hendrix (as seen on Jeopardy!) are bringing THE QUIZ BOX to Know Theatre of Cincinnati on Saturday, March 28. This Columbus-based podcast and game show has been growing in popularity since its debut in 2014, bringing in local and touring comedians to play a game of impossible trivia to win prizes for audience counterparts.

Each audience member gets a chance to “play,” by receiving a raffle ticket upon entry to the show. The best part is: audience members don’t need to know any trivia at all. The comedian panelists who select raffle tickets from the “Bucket of People” answer ridiculous trivia questions and rack up points, which their audience counterpart gets to cash in later for some outrageous prizes.

Past guests on the show include comedian Michael Malone (Comedy Central, Showtime), Jason Banks (True TV) and Nina West (Ru Paul’s Drag Race).

The March 28 show at Know Theatre will feature Columbus comedian Amber Falter, Cincinnati’s own Kelly Collette, touring juggler and comedian Tony Steinbach, and special guest David Levy of True Theatre.

Find out more about The Quiz Box at www.quizboxcast.com, and listen to full episodes of the podcast on iTunes and Spotify. Tickets for the March 28 show are available through Know Theatre’s website or by going to www.quizboxcast.com/events/know

Description: A penniless German Immigrant who grew up in Chicago, George Remus became a pharmacist, then a lawyer, and eventually moved to the Cincinnati/NKY region to become the most famous bootlegger of them all! He had government politicians in his pocket, the Chicago mob at his feet, and the perfect scheme for selling barrels and barrels of whiskey during the era of prohibition and speakeasies. With a lavish mansion on a hill and over-the-top parties, Remus was a millionaire playboy in 1922 – some even say he was the real Jay Gatsby. His legendary rise and fall are now the subject of this new musical.

Guests of REMUS can also opt to enjoy a bourbon tasting. The Carnegie will host a guided bourbon tasting at 6:30 pm to wet guests’ whistles before the show.
