You can’t keep a good game show down — the return of Graham Clark’s Quiz Show

Graham Clark brings back The Quiz Show from “game-show hiatus.”

Graham Clark loves game shows. And so the Vancouver comedian is eager to once again present The Quiz Show, a live hybrid of American game show and British panel show.

Clark debuted in 2016 at the now sadly defunct Main Street gallery Hot Art Wet City. Originally a spoof on segments from game shows past, The Quiz Show grew to incorporate all original segments. Local comedians are the contestants, and do their best to make audience members laugh – and win prizes, of course. On Sept. 9, he’ll resurrect the show at the Fox Cabaret (2321 Main St.).

Clark is producing the show with Chris Bentzen, the former owner of Hot Art.

“What’s more fun than being in the audience at Quiz Show? A party at Elton John’s probably…but this is something YOU are invited to!” says Clark in the media release for the show.

In addition to the September 9 performance, The Quiz Show is expected to continue on a monthly basis at The Fox.

Clark is a well-known stand-up comic in Vancouver, as well as the host of the podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself. He is also a three-time Canadian Comedy Award winner, a regular on CBC’s The Debaters and has appeared at Just for Laughs, Halifax Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival (where he won best stand up in 2016), and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He is a winner of the Yuk Yuks “Great Canadian Laugh Off” and has appeared on HBO’s Funny As Hell.
