Shaun was born in country NSW, and moved to Goulburn 3 years ago where he soon took on hosting for iQ Trivia.
A sport, music and geography tragic, Shaun takes great pride in inciting friendly banter within individual teams as they weigh up quiz answers. In his spare time, Shaun enjoys cycling cooking, reading, and time with friends and family.
Molly was born in Canberra and, after living and working overseas, has settled into her true Canberran destiny of becoming a public servant. She spent her time overseas studying in the Canadian maritimes, working at Disney World in Florida, and managing a hostel in Myanmar.
She loves trivia nights, but has found she is much better at asking the questions than answering them.
In her spare time Molly enjoys travelling, reading, hiking, drinking wine, and sleeping.
You will frequently hear Sam before you can see her. With a booming personality to match her loud voice, she’s a tea lover, and an adventurous & bubbly mother who won’t shut up about Japan or how smart and adorable her son is.
Known & loved for her frequent mispronunciations of words and her laughable mistakes when hosting, Sam is an IT nerd who enjoys travel, culture, fitness, dance, Sailor Moon, and games. Her spare time is spent with her son either out or about or relaxing inside with tea and scones. Her favourite board game is Ligretto, her star sign is Taurus (which makes sense now), and she loves to make friends even if it has to be by force! She’s a halfy, sharing blood with those from our English motherland, but is a true blue Aussie deep down and is always ready to insult you at any chance she gets.
Ally started off playing iQ Trivia, before deciding she was sufficiently sarcastic to be able to come on as a host.
She comes to us from Sydney’s inner west – but insists she doesn’t eat her smashed avocado on toast at any “trendy” cafes.
Cheeky, with a side of geek (or that may be geek, with a side of cheeky…) her skills include poker playing, Uno, and staying undetected in her work as a spy.
You can find Alison hosting on Tuesdays at The Horse in Surry Hills.
Ilya hails from the Soviet Union, is not Irish (people regularly ask him if he is), identifies as a “geek”, and really likes cider. He insists he is not a Soviet spy, and spends his spare time reading science fiction and fantasy novels so thick they could be used as blunt weapons. He also cannot confirm whether or not he is in the witness protection program, which concerns us ever so slightly.
His life goal is to memorise the lyrics to the song ‘Yakko’s World’ from the animated cartoon series ‘The Animaniacs’.
You can see Ilya hosting every Tuesday at the Bavarian Bier Cafe in Chatswood.
Shane comes to iQ Trivia from the Royal Australian Navy, but he’s got plenty of talents that go beyond being a sailor.
He’s also a lion tamer, Spitfire pilot, Elvis impersonator, bodyguard for the Dalai Lama, and he’s organising a petition to get Queanbeyan to host the 2024 Olympics where he will represent Australia in Chess Boxing.
You can catch him every Monday at 7:00 at Walt & Burley on the Kingston Foreshore.
Davey J, is ready to cast off and set sail with you on the Seven Seas of Knowledge. A radio host, film-maker, performer, sports-star, rock-god and general bon vivant, Davey J will have you scratching your heads, begging for clues and smacking your head and saying “of course” when you hear the answer.
So welcome aboard for a journey of trivial discovery and high seas adventure.
When he’s not hosting trivia, Davey is also the host of The Big Gee Up on 2XX (98.3FM) on Saturday mornings.
Also, sometimes he dances to the music questions.
Tammy Paks is a drag princess, entertainer, hostess, singer, actress, and now hosts iQ Trivia as Canberra’s first and only Drag Trivia Show where the questions are a little more risque than usual.
Miss Paks has performed at venues across the ACT and Sydney. Her salacious attitude, witty parodies, and frequent usage of the word “moist”, are bound to bedazzle and delight audiences.
You can take in Tammy’s weekly iQ Trivia show at Polit Bar in Manuka every Wednesday at 8pm.
(By the way, players are not expected to come in drag, but if the mood strikes you, you are welcome to dress a little differently!)
Originally from California, Joe slept through high school, and later served in the Marines to get a University degree. But after years of guarding embassies all around the world, he thought he would rather live in a country where the wildlife is constantly trying to kill you, and settled in Canberra, even going so far as marrying a local.
Now Sergeant Joe hosts iQ Trivia while planning his next career move as a TIE Fighter Pilot for the Galactic Empire.
Joe hosts a regular show every Tuesday at 7:30pm at the Belconnen Raiders Club in Holt.
