Premier SpeedQuizzing has run quiz nights across Edinburgh and Central Scotland since 2011. We’re always open to hearing from people who could be a good fit to host with us. If you’ve read what we look for in a quiz night host and think that sounds like you, here’s what our quiz host partnerships involve.
What Partnering With Us Looks Like
Hosts who join Premier SpeedQuizzing step into an established operation rather than starting from scratch. You get a brand people already recognise and trust, plus venue relationships we’ve built up over years. The SpeedQuizzing technology and question content are ready to go. You also get ongoing support from someone who has hosted since 2011 and has already solved the problems you’d otherwise face alone.
Depending on what fits best, you might take on one of our existing regular venue nights. You might help us launch a new night in an area we’re expanding into. Or you might cover corporate and private events alongside our regular weekly schedule.
What We Provide
- The SpeedQuizzing platform, with live scoring, buzzer rounds and question content, so you don’t build any of that yourself
- An established venue and audience where relevant, rather than a night you have to build from zero
- Guidance on running a night the Premier SpeedQuizzing way, including pacing, energy and handling the technical side calmly
- Ongoing support if something goes wrong on the night, or if you have questions while you’re getting started
What We’re Looking For
The short version is someone who can hold a room and is reliable without exception. We want a host who genuinely enjoys the format rather than just reading out questions. They also need to stay calm when the tech has one of its occasional off moments. We go into this in more detail on our quiz host standard page, and it’s worth a read before you get in touch.
You don’t need previous quiz hosting experience specifically. Comfort speaking in front of a room goes a long way, whether it comes from presenting, performing, teaching, sales or anything else.
How It Works From Here
Get in touch with a bit about yourself and any relevant experience. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for and what we have available. That might be an existing venue night, a new opportunity, or occasional corporate cover to start with. Next, you’ll usually come along to see a night in action. After that, we set you up to run one yourself, with support close by until you’re fully comfortable.
There’s no rigid formula. It depends on where you are, what experience you bring, and what we have room for at the time.
Where We Operate
We currently run regular nights across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. We also host corporate and private events further afield across Central Scotland. See our current venues for where we’re active right now.
Get In Touch
If this sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you. Tell us a bit about yourself and why you think you’d be a good fit.
