Paul Sinha and his live audience compile the questions for a perfect pub quiz.

Paul Sinha invites his live audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, offering up different and surprising questions and the fascinating stories behind the answers.

The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like "What's the name of the only member of ZZ Top without a beard?"*. So the more quizzes you do the more predictable they get.

Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d'Or winner Paul Sinha with his new series, Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz. In each episode he will invite the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, before offering up not just different and surprising questions, but also the fascinating stories behind the answers.

It's facts, jokes, stories and puns - just the way you like them.

BBC Radio 4 - Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz, Series 2, Episode 10 - Bridgwater

Paul Sinha tests a Bridgwater audience on the theme of 2023.

How much attention were you paying in 2023? This week Paul is in Bridgwater asking his audience about things that changed this year - such as the newest longest suspension bridge in the world, and the newest best restaurant in the world. He also asks about people who would have turned 100 in 2023, such as the French war hero portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg in a film that flopped for surprising reasons.
