Our Hosts

Melbourne Trivia’s hosts come from a variety of show-business and entertainment backgrounds. There have been some changes since Covid, but we’re pleased that Janet, Alan and Nick are still with us. We have other experienced entertainers who are proving popular with our clients.

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 were his annual working trips to Japan where he is in demand as an entertainer – He has made 17 appearances there. Alan also wrote 5,000 trivia questions for the caps on bottles of Carlton Draught beer.

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 has been 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 was a perennial popular hit in Melbourne. We love her!

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. He’s a good trivia host – both in person and online – with a surprisingly loyal following (despite how mean he sometimes is to his teams). He has been with Melbourne Trivia Company for over seven years, hosting his own weekly nights and regularly filling in for other hosts when they’re unavailable.

Lauren Lauren is an award winning comedian as well as a writer and performer. Known for her energy and enthusiasm when performing, she has presented trivia, performed in Fringe and Comedy festivals, worked in children’s theatre and burlesque.

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.
