THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
Join us for a first-for-the-Fest literary pub quiz, inspired by a growing online quiz trend: identifying book titles by emoji representations. Hosted by poet and literary raconteur Rob Taylor, this fast-paced evening will feature book-related emoji quizzes (Would you guess that a bunny tail and two skyscrapers represents a Dickens classic?) and “Mad-Lib Readings,” in which authors give readings from their work with sections blanked out for audience participation. There will even be a Wrong Answers Only round with author Rhea Tregebov choosing her favourite incorrect guesses… perfect for anyone who has never placed first in a pub quiz. Don’t miss this effervescent evening of escapades.
Hosted by Rob Taylor.
This pub quiz event takes place at Granville Island Brewing on Granville Island.
