When music, comedy and trivia combine

Cult Aussie music trivia show RocKwiz returns to Geelong this November, bringing all the wit, charm and humour audiences have loved for two decades in a live show experience.

Hosted by presenters Brian Nankervis and Julia Zemiro, RocKwiz combines spontaneous comedy and live music in a riotous music trivia show format.

Zamiro said it was “extremely humbling” to tour again due to popular demand.

“The RocKwiz family adores performing live all over the country and we can’t wait to see you all again,” she said.

“If you want to be uplifted, if you want to be moved by incredible musicians at the top of their game and also laugh till you cry, this is the show for you.”

Nankervis said he was always thrilled to take this show on the road.

“Would we like to head back to theatres and concert halls…with some great artists, new segments, new questions…play loud music and invite audience members to be part of the show?,” he asked.

“What do you reckon? Absolutely!”

While the show enjoyed 14 seasons on SBS, Nankervis said the live experience brought the audience to the fore in a way the television show did not.

“It’s a thrill to tour with a changing cast of household names and up and coming stars, but sometimes it’s the contestants from the audience who shine brightly,” he said.

“This is a crazy world, but spreading some musical joy and connecting with our audience is a powerful tonic.”

RocKwiz Live in 25! is at Costa Hall on Thursday 6 November. Visit geelongartscentre.org.au for tickets and more information.
