Question Everything Trivia

How do you see the role of performing arts evolving in today’s culture?Performing arts are becoming more immersive, interactive, and community-driven than ever before. Audiences today want to be part of the experience, not just watch it—and that’s where live entertainment like trivia, bingo, and drag shows shine. These formats blend performance, pop culture, and social connection, creating shared moments that can’t be replicated online. In a world dominated by screens, performing arts now play a vital role in bringing people together, fostering inclusivity, and celebrating diverse voices in ways that are both entertaining and culturally relevant.

What inspires your creative process?Our creative process is fueled by pop culture trends, audience feedback, and a love of making people laugh and connect. We constantly scan what’s trending in entertainment, social media, and everyday conversations, then adapt those ideas into interactive games and shows. Working with talented, Second City–trained hosts inspires us to push boundaries, keep content fresh, and deliver experiences that feel both timely and unforgettable.

How do you navigate the balance between art and commercial success?We balance art and commercial success by prioritizing creativity while staying audience-focused. Every show is designed to be unique, engaging, and authentic to our style—whether it’s trivia, bingo, or drag—while also delivering measurable results for our venues. By blending innovative game design, professional hosting, and trend-driven content with proven marketing strategies, we ensure our events are both artistically memorable and commercially successful.

What’s been your most memorable project or performance and why?One of our most memorable projects was partnering with Cirque du Soleil to capture behind-the-scenes moments and work with their global creative team. They also generously provided 300 free tickets for us to give away as prizes, making the experience even more exciting for our audiences and adding unforgettable value to our events.

How has technology influenced live performance and entertainment?Technology has transformed how we connect with clients and create our shows. Using email prospecting tools, we can efficiently reach potential venues, while having a dedicated business development person frees me to focus on crafting exceptional games. At QE Trivia, we use technology daily—AI is already a key part of our creative process, helping us develop fresh, trend-driven content that keeps our events engaging and relevant.

What advice would you give to emerging artists?Stay adaptable, stay curious, and keep creating. The entertainment industry changes fast, so embrace trends and technology without losing your unique voice. Build strong relationships, learn the business side as much as the artistic side, and never underestimate the value of showing up—both for your audience and your collaborators. Every performance is a chance to grow your craft and your community.

How do you stay connected with your audience?We stay connected with our audience through consistent social media engagement, email newsletters, and in-person interactions at every event. We actively respond to feedback, highlight guests in our posts, and create shareable content that keeps the conversation going long after the show ends. By mixing digital connection with real-world experiences, we build a loyal community that feels personally invested in our events.
