Seven years ago Neridah Waters created the amateur dance revolution known as Common People Dance Eisteddfod - which is happening this opening weekend of the Brisbane Festival - but how much does she and her partner Lucas Stibbard know about Australia's geography, airport busyness and Ancient Greek architecture?Quite a bit, it turns out.Go see the Common People Dance Eisteddfod:https://www.brisbanefestival.com.au/events/common-people-dance-eisteddfodAnd if you're in Brisbane, see me in The Platypus:https://www.brisbanefestival.com.au/events/the-platypusSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-saturday-quiz.

Stressed Syllables with Sheridan Harbridge and Steven Kramer
Sheridan Harbridge is one of the writers of what, in my opinion, was the best thing I saw on stage last year, the musical My Brilliant Career. Some great news for lovers of Australian musicals is that The Melbourne Theatre Company has recently announced a return season early next yearSheridan is joined on this episode by Steven Kramer who is the writer of another show which is about to stake its claim as the great Australian musical - or at the very least, a musical about a great Australian (or should that be great New Zealander?) Either way, the musical Phar Lap will be having its world premiere at Sydney’s Hayes theatre in October.Get tickets to Phar Lap here:https://hayestheatre.com.au/event/phar-lap-musical/Get tickets to My Brilliant Career here:https://www.mtc.com.au/plays-and-tickets/whats-on/season-2026/my-brilliant-career/See John in The Platypus at the Brisbane Festival:https://www.brisbanefestival.com.au/events/the-platypusSee Sheridan in Amplified at the Brisbane Festival:https://www.brisbanefestival.com.au/events/amplified-the-exquisite-rock-and-rage-of-chrissy-amphlettSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-saturday-quiz.

Kinky Boats with Laurence Boxhall
I love having Laurence on the show. he's done it a bunch of times before, but never solo. Will he prove that every time before this one he's been the dunce? Or will he somehow jag a whole bunch of questions that sit in his sweet spot? You'll have to listen to find out.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-saturday-quiz. Hosted on Acast.

Listening to Paint Dry with Duncan Fellows
Duncan Fellows is a dear old friend who I have known since we were both teenagers. His effortless charm has endeared him to audiences of tv shows like Deadloch and The Messenger and will no doubt do so again in the soon to be released tv series He Had it Coming and Reckless. He was even married to my partner in the excellent tv series The Letdown.Next week sees the Melbourne International Film Festival screening of a movie he’s in, Zombucha - A hilarious and big-hearted horror comedy about a couple whose hopes of striking it rich in the fermented beverage game, are shattered when their homemade kombucha attains sentience and a thirst for blood.Get tickets to the two MIFF screenings of Zombucha here:https://miff.com.au/program/film/zombucha#topSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-saturday-quiz.
