Peter
Peter Thomas has worked as a voice-over artist, stand-up comedian, video producer and comedy night promoter for a number of years. The pinnacle of his fame may possibly be a blink-and-you-miss-it acting role with Ray Winstone on Channel 4, or maybe a singing bunny rabbit on Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow.
His passions are technology, retro video games and leftfield comedy. He'd be in pub quizzes if he wasn't hosting them.
Alan
“Ah”, I hear you think. “What is a handsome looking guy like that doing Quizzes for? He could be a Hollywood movie star!” My real name is Alan but for some reason everyone calls me Groover!
It was while I was in sales that people started to tell me that “you should be on the radio!” ….. and that’s where I ended up.
A long career at the beeb later they finally found out that I was having far too much fun and let me go. But I do love chatting and making people smile, ……. enter quizzing!
It’s not supposed to be too serious, it’s not supposed to be educational (although sometimes you do find a few random facts to amaze your friends and stun your enemies!) but, it is supposed to be fun!
So if you fancy a quiz with a bit of a giggle thrown in give me a call!

Alana-Jade
There are many rumours as to the creation of Alana-Jade....some say she wasn't born, she just was; whilst others prefer the story of how she was formed in the roots of an oak tree by Pixie elders to save their world from destruction...
She may or may not have found the joys of wine and so that world dwindled....
Wherever she hails from, she is a tiny bundle of dynamite and is always ready for a crowd.

(If you are reading this in the future - it was a pretty big deal. It brought down the E.U.). His first comedy hour was given a five-star review and called “Perfect” by The Voice Magazine. He also worked for Colourful Radio and has written for the BBC.

Well known for his clever music rounds, off the hoof questions and impossible to answer tie breaks, Richard's love for orange shirts and suede Converse reflects his laid back approach and his total lack of dress sense.
Richard is a property guru by day; heads up a posh school's alumni; runs a breakfast club and yet still finds time to read out daft questions about Gladiators.
