About

Totally Not Normal Trivia
Saturday June 20 | Newham Mechanics Institute

Take everything you know about trivia nights and dial it up 100%.

Totally Not Normal Trivia is an adults only event, here to flip the classic pub quiz completely on its head, blending outrageous fun, live performance, playful chaos, and community spirit into one unforgettable night.

Featuring local artists Sharni Page, Malia Walsh, Hamish Fletcher, and Scott Cameron — performers who’ve dazzled audiences nationally and internationally — this is not your average sit-down-and-write-answers kind of evening. Expect carnivale-inspired performances, hilarious surprises, spontaneous moments of silliness, and plenty of chances to discover hidden talents in your friends, neighbours, and family.

One minute you’ll be battling it out in trivia glory… the next you could be dancing on chairs, belting out songs with your table, or crying with laughter.

This is trivia with sparkle. Trivia with spectacle. Trivia with absolutely no intention of behaving normally.

So gather your crew, throw on your boldest carnivale-inspired outfit, and prepare for a night where enthusiasm counts just as much as the right answers. Because winning isn’t just about being clever — it’s about saying YES to the fun.
