About this Event
Do you enjoy performance art, pub quizzes and theatricality? This could be the show for you!
Petra Dish’s QUIZSTRAVAGANZA is always meant to be a bit more than just a quiz, a bit like one person trying to write, produce and star in their own TV-style quiz show whilst also being their own glamourous assistant and house backing band, flirting with comedy and tragedy.
Petra Dish's QUIZSTRAVAGANZA is all about fun, with questions, rhyming answer rounds, charades and a kazoo music round (where the participants have to guess the song from Petra Dish kazooing it for them)! Also occasionally featuring guest rounds like the Punchline Round, the Missing Words Round, Prop Me Up and What the Haiku.
We are able to provide travel bursaries to help you attend this activity. These will be paid in cash on the day you attend. Please book your space on Eventbrite and contact [email protected] to confirm how much you require.
This event is part of our 'Back To The Market' project, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.'Back To The Market' investigates the heritage of Barnstaple Pannier Market, concentrating on three key areas of research: the events around Oswald Mosley’s talk that took place in Barnstaple Pannier Market in 1934, Jeremy Thorpe’s wedding reception that took place in Barnstaple Pannier Market in 1968, and The Beggar’s Opera written in 1728 by John Gay who was born in Barnstaple. The exhibition (on from 4th November to 19th December) features three commissions by artists Jessica Akerman, Cecily Loveys Jervoise and Graham Taylor, who have been exploring these three areas and contemporary issues revolving around them more broadly.Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. Thanks to National Lottery players, we will be able to deliver a year-long project that provides research opportunities, fun activities for the community, and the chance for people to think more deeply about what the Pannier Market means to our area.
