Whale Trivia

Whale Trivia is a fun pub quiz night hosted by me, Simon 'Simmo' Whale, at select regular venues each week! I am also available for fundraisers and functions on Fridays and weekends!

Whale Trivia began in 2004 as a one off show on Melbourne Cup day at the Bald Rock Hotel which then became a monthly show. Soon, locals demanded a weekly show and since 2005 Whale Trivia has been a regular event each week virtually all year round.

These days, I do four shows a week:
-Mondays at The Pine Inn, Concord /Burwood - 7: 30 (app) Since 2017
- Tuesdays at Cookies Lounge Bar, North Strathfield - 7pm (app. ) Since 2011
- Wednesdays at the Dry Dock Hotel, Balmain - 7: 30pm (app. ) Since 2008
- Thursdays at the Bald Rock Hotel, Rozelle - 7: 30pm (app. ) Since 2004

About the show:
The show consists of two halves of 20 questions with a weekly jackpot questionnaire at the end. It usually runs for 1 and a half to 2 hours. There are regular voucher prizes for the teams that come 1st, 2nd and 2nd last (that's right, 2nd last, you've got to at least try! Oh and Cookies has a prize for 3rd as well. ) Plus there is my patented (not actually patented) "Special Bonus Floating Prize" that could go to any of the other ranked teams on the night, however it is announced at the start of the night. Plus there are other chocolate and voucher give-aways during the night!

About the host:
Simon Whale has spent almost his entire working life in some form of customer service. In 2002 he began hosting the weekly trivia show for FAME Trivia at the Commercial Hotel in East Balmain (now The East Village Hotel). But, due to his popularity and professionalism, that one night soon became 2, then 3 and once Whale Trivia began, 4 nights a week. Some other venues he hosted for a length of time are; the North Annandale Hotel, the Mortdale Hotel and Bar Cleveland, Surrey Hills. His association with FAME Trivia finished at the end of 2008 and since then he has worked almost purely as Whale Trivia.
