What to Expect
In a night of Movie Guys trivia, the game breaks down like this:
Round 1 – 15 questions
Round 2 – Visual or game round
Round 3 – Audible round
Round 4 – 15 questions
Within this structure – anything goes! I can do general movie trivia, I can make it specific to a genre, actor, time period – literally ANYTHING goes.
The show usually runs from ninety minutes to two hours and even that is customizable.
And I can further customize the content of the game, weaving in trivia about companies in the spotlight and/or guests of honor and prizes can be determined based on the theme/topic/client of the event.
With events close to L.A. where I can travel by car, I can bring my own audio setup with mics, speakers and a laptop (to run the audio portions of the games).
Call me. Let’s get weird.
Additional Booking Notes
I can provide lights for an extra fee, but it’s best to hold the event in a well-lit area where I can be seen. I’ll provide my own audio system, as necessary.
Travel and lodging costs that would occur with long-distance gigs will be determined on an as-booked basis.

“Paul did movie trivia for our office holiday party and it was a huge hit! He does a fantastic job of getting the crowd into it and creating healthy competition among the groups. From a logistics perspective, he was wonderful to work with and took initiative in reaching out the venue directly to make sure set-up was handled seamlessly.”
