After an incredibly successful night earlier this year, we are gearing up to bring back GCN’s My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz just in time for the end of summer on September 4. Save the date and gather all your most knowledgeable pals, because this is one not to be missed!

For many years, My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz has been a great way to get together while also raising funds for Ireland’s free LGBTQ+ media and registered charity, GCN.

This time, GCN’s My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz will take over a brand new location: Love Tempo – the stunning pub on Thomas Street, Dublin, born from the incredible partnership between our pals at Mother and The Big Romance. Boasting a menu full of fabulous drinks, there will also be food available on the night for our lovely quiz-goers, courtesy of El Milagro.

But the surprises don’t end there, as the night will be hosted by the most flamboyant drag duo in town, The Misses. The two gorgeous hosts will put your quizzy skills to the test with questions on categories covering music, sports, films & TV, Irish history and much more – all with a rainbow twist!

 

If you think you’ve got what it takes to win the queerest pub quiz in town, grab your friends, form teams of four and get your hands on some tickets here. And, while we all know that the glory and bragging rights would be more than enough satisfaction for the winners, that’s certainly not all they’re going to get.

Our incredible list of prizes for the quiz includes tickets to Ireland’s prestigious LGBTQ+ awards and queerest night of the year, The GALAS, tickets to see the Pillow Queens on their Irish Tour and much more.

And if, for some reason, you’re not feeling particularly quizzical on the night but would still like a chance to get your hands on some amazing prizes, don’t despair! We’ve planned a gorgeous raffle full of spectacular prizes for our lovely quiz-goers to take home.
