The Philadelphia Bluegrass Band has signed on to join the festivities at Quizzo Bowl 2, and will opening the show! “I am exremely excited to have one of the most popular bluegrass bands in Philly opening Quizzo Bowl 2,” said Johnny Goodtimes from his yacht in the Meditteranean. “I try to find new and different kinds of music for each of the big events, and I think that these guys and Nate Wiley together are going to make for a night of not only great quizzo, but of outstanding music as well.” Tickets to Quizzo Bowl 2 can be purchased from Johnny at quizzo for $10, or ordered online by clicking here. Maximum team size for the event is eight.

Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers are back, and will be filling the World Cafe Live with their sweet jazz and blues sounds during Quizzo Bowl 2. “They were a huge hit the first time around, and when I did a poll on the website asking if people wanted them back for Quizzo Bowl 2, over 90% of respondants said yes. So this was a no brainer.” Johnny added that he has also added an act for halftime that he will be revealing later. Tickets for Quizzo Bowl 2 are available by either clicking here or by attending one of JGT’s quizzoes this week, where he will be selling them for only $10 a pop.

Here is where we currently stand, just so everyone is aware. Quizzo Bowl 2 will be taking place at World Cafe Live (3025 Walnut Street) on Sunday, January 29th. The doors open at 6, the opening act will go on at 6:30, and the quizzo will begin at 7:00 p.m. We aim to have the show completed by 9:45 p.m., though we ain’t making no guarantees. The show we had last January was a blast, the one we had in August was even better, and I expect this to be even better than that. The legendary Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers will be providing between round entertainment. If you have not seen these guys, you simply have to go to Quizzo Bowl 2. I am still in talks with various entities regarding the halftime show. I will make you aware as soon as I ink a deal. There is almost no chance that Johnny will be performing a rap at this event. His rap days are done.

Tickets are $10 if you buy them from Johnny, who has them on him at quizzo, or $13 if you buy them online. That is because there is a processing fee for online purchases. I am selling seats on the first two rows, so if you wanna front row seat, buy your tix soon. They have already started selling. The prizes for first and second are the same as last year. $300 for first, $150 for 2nd. The reason I didn’t raise ticket prices and offer a bigger cash bonus? I was scared that a price raise would scare off the heart and soul of this operation, which consists of people who are in it more for the fun than the glory. I want those people to have an affordable evening of good music, good food, and of course Goodtimes. And yes, I think that $300 cash (and untold glory) still makes it worthwhile for those teams who have a legitimate shot at winning. In addition, there are going to be a bunch of other prizes offered throughout the evening. I really think that this is going to be an unforgettable event, and I look forward to seeing you all there! If you have any questions at all about Quizzo Bowl, feel free to leave them in the comments section below or send me an email.

Tickets for the quizzo event of the year go on sale today at 3 p.m. on the World Cafe Live website, and tonight at Sports Quizzo! Due to a processing fee, they will be more expensive ($13) if you buy them online. However, if you buy them from me, they will be the same price as last year, $10. I will have tickets on me tonight at sports quizzo and at all of my quizzoes throughout the week. The tables will be first come, first serve, so the earlier you buy a ticket, the better your chances of picking out whatever seat you want. There will be more info about QB 2 on the site tommorrow.

The rumors are true! No, not the ones about me and the stripper with scurvy (seriously, those are only rumors. You can’t prove anything!). The ones about Quizzo Bowl 2. Though details are still a bit sketchy, here is the next nugget of information I can give out. It will be held on January 29th at the World Cafe Live. I will let you know ticketing info on Monday, so check back then.

Hey gang, I’m sorry I couldn’t let everybody know what their score was last night, but it just would have taken forever. So here are the final standings. Also, I’ll try to get everything caught up (last week’s stories, etc.) as soon as possible. I got a little backed up trying to put QBI together. Thanks for your patience!

There’s Johnny proved to know more useless knowledge than anyone else in Philadelphia, edging out the Sofa Kingdom and knocking off 41 other teams at a packed World Cafe Live on Sunday night. The Johnnies had to overcome a five point deficit heading into the final round to edge the Kingdom (below), 141-136.


Johnny Goodtimes, whose hair looked absolutely terrific, emceed the event, which also featured performances from the Man In Black, bellydancer Najia (Ern’s highlight of the evening), and Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers (below). Rosemary Fiki kicked off the Quizzo Bowl with a stirring rendition of “God Bless America”.


The Count of Monte Quizzo (below) finished third with a score of 131. There were 15 questions per round instead of the usual 10, thus the high scores. A perfect score would have been a 174. Heff Called, He Wants His Jacket Back won best team name, while Los Nachorinas won a free bottle of really bad champagne for finishing with the worst score, a 76.
