GCN: My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz
GCN’s My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz is back, back, back again for another fabulous night of queer trivia and fundraising.
Taking place in Street 66 on Thursday, September 4, the event will be hosted by the marvellous drag duo of Miss Taken and Miss Roots, aka The Misses.
For many years, My Big Fat Gay Pub Quiz has been a much-beloved community event as well as a fun way to raise money for Ireland’s free LGBTQ+ media, GCN, which is the trading name of the National LGBTQ+ Federation, a registered charity. After a temporary hiatus, it made an emphatic return in 2024 with two highly successful events, and now, we’re ready to do it all again.
So, grab your most knowledgeable pals and prepare to get quizzical, as the gorgeous hosts guide you through seven rounds of queer trivia. With categories encompassing music, history, sport, geography and more (all with a rainbow twist), there are opportunities for everyone to show off their expertise and earn some bragging rights.
But of course, that’s not all you can win. We have some incredible prizes up for grabs for the top three teams, as well as coveted treasures to take home from our gorgeous raffle. If you think you’ve got what it takes, form a team of four and secure your spot here.
