Round 3: Four-Letter Words

Comedian Paul Sinha and his audience compile a perfect pub quiz, and this week every answer is a four-letter word. From 2022.

The problem with quizzes is that the same questions keep coming up, like 'Who was the first US President to be assassinated?' **

So the more quizzes you do the more predictable they get. Luckily, here comes quizzer, comedian and Rose d’Or winner Paul Sinha with his latest series.

He’s inviting the audience to tell him their favourite quiz questions, before offering up not just different and surprising questions, but also the fascinating stories behind the answers.

The answers to every question this week are four-letter words - such as 'quiz', not the ones you're thinking of.

It’s facts, jokes, stories and puns – just the way you like them.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.
