Looking for a
Pub Quiz in Leeds?

Everyone loves a quiz. They’re a great excuse to get together with friends or colleagues, show off your most obscure knowledge and engage in a little friendly competition.

I currently host three weekly pub quizzes in Leeds and West Yorkshire. You can also hire me for one-off events such as team building days and parties. My quizzes are fun, varied and suitable for all ages and skill levels.

About me

When it comes to creating a great quiz, I have three golden rules

  • Make it fun
  • Make it accessible
  • Don’t make your players feel stupid!

Over the past few years of hosting pub quizzes in Leeds, I’ve built up a loyal following at my regular venues. I’ve done this by creating a varied and lively format that’s tailored to the average age and experience of the players.

From music, movies and other pop culture to history, politics and current events, a JPL Quizzes event is always fast paced, interactive and geared towards inspiring lively debate with your team members.

What to expect from a JPL Pub Quiz

When writing and hosting a pub quiz, I always focus on creating a fun and accessible mix of subjects designed to spark a lively debate among your team.

  • Current events
  • Music round
  • Picture round
  • On this day in history
  • Connection round
  • Player’s choice (always popular!)

John’s weekly quiz is literally the highlight of my week! It’s educational, satisfyingly challenging and lots of fun!

John does the best quizzes around – accessible but challenging, topical and interesting. Well hosted, funny just all around amazing. Me and my flatmates went to our first in October then went to the next 40+ every Monday because they were so well done.

The Monday night quiz at the Chemic Tavern is routinely one of our busiest nights of the week. It attracts a wide variety of customers and many people travel especially to attend. John is great to work with from a venues point of view and is much loved by all the quiz players too!
