Our Hosts

Melbourne Trivia’s hosts come from a variety of show-business and entertainment backgrounds.

They are selected for their sense of humour, their professionalism and experience and their love of trivia. Unfortunately, they are all often in demand and, while we will try,  we can’t promise you the host of your choice for your event.

 

Alan Alan is an international entertainer who has performed comedy in Canada, USA, Britain and Japan. A veteran actor and playwright, he has appeared in film, TV and on radio as well as the stage. Among Alan’s pleasures are his annual working trips to Japan where he is in demand as an entertainer – last year was his 17th appearance there. In the 2010s, Alan also wrote 5,000 trivia questions for the caps on bottles of Carlton Draught beer. He is often invited to MC a variety of events in Melbourne.

Janet Janet is a well-known Melbourne comedian and performer who has presented shows for Fringe and Comedy festivals. Janet produces the highly respected and popular Local Laughs every Monday. Her monthly appearances in Cinema Fiasco at the Astor and the Nova, with Geoff Wallis, won a devoted following. Janet is a regular guest on 774 ABC Radio and has appeared weekly as the Australian correspondent for South African radio. Her very funny Quiz Internationale with Toby Sullivan is a perennial popular hit in Melbourne. We love her!

Rob Rob is a talented comedian whose one-man shows have had sold-out shows at the Melbourne and Adelaide Fringes and Melbourne Comedy Festival. An excellent improviser, he has performed all over the south-eastern states. He is a lovely man and great trivia host. He also sometimes looks spookily like David Tennant!

Nick Nick is well-known in Melbourne comedy circles for his understated style. He is a popular performer for his involvement in numerous regular events as well as a talented director and producer.

Those of you who have experienced our trivia events know that our hosts are usually supported by one of our team of fabulous assistants, all of whom also have considerable talents outside Melbourne Trivia.

Scott designs and makes puppets and stage and screen props as well as being an award-winning comedy writer and a truly individual person.
