Wax Quizzical

Why does British tradition insist that at least six ravens are always kept at the Tower of London, their wings clipped so they can't fly away?Alex Ward is back for another crack, straight off a stand-up gig in Hobart and still a bit haunted by how she went here last time. Talking her through it: Mr. Trivia, holder of the world record for the worst trivia performance in history, who just wants to get one right so he can retire; Blade, who has worked out that the politicians were all replaced with crabs; and Sarah, a Dutch historian whose every source turns out to be AI-generated. They all seem to have plenty of theories and no answers.It's a new LIVE episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Lena Moon and Pedro Cooray.Wax Quizzical Live: https://www.comedyrepublic.com.au/event/38:591Alex Ward: Literally Anyone at Replay Festival: https://www.comedyrepublic.com.au/event/38:565Greg Larsen: Unrelenting Ultra-Violence at Replay Festival: https://www.comedyrepublic.com.au/event/38:583Lena Moon: Sounds Like A Brag at Replay Festival: https://www.comedyrepublic.com.au/event/38:580

In 1932 the Australian military declared war on an animal. What animal, and who won?Geraldine Hickey is back, live in front of an audience this time - she previously scored a suspiciously perfect 10 with Google open under the table. Keeping her honest: Tiffany the perfect girlfriend (expert in baking, beds and being somewhere between 18 and 35), Marguerite, a French sommelier living under France who invented cornflakes with her toes, and the devil, who is South African and has had a big week. Hoping for an honest two out of ten, and not a search engine in sight.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Mish Wittrup, Barney Pollock and Taylor Griffiths.

What is a group of flamingos called?Wil Anderson is back for a second crack, still chasing his all-time high of five. Helping him: Smooth Thomas, the smoothest boy in the world; Grain, a Brisbane man who picked up a Berlin accent in two months; and Lorne Pathway, who sells cigarettes to children. Between them they have a lot of opinions and very few facts.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Ben Russell and Taylor Griffiths.

What is the deadliest animal to humans each year?Oliver Coleman thinks it's hippos, then humans, then gets quite cross about the whole premise. Standing by to help: Old Bernard (a duck farmer down to one finger), Gulliver (100ft tall, six months into a relationship with a colossal squid), and Limerick the Traffic Troll, who lives under the Westgate Bridge and is, against all odds, the most helpful caller in the show's history.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Pedro Cooray and Taylor Griffiths.

Which animal did a Chinese zoo try to pass off as a lion?Mish Wittrup has 65% confidence rating on John Leguizamo trivia. Helping her: Gazelle (currently casting a children's version of Rent, no edits), the Swedish Chef's cousin (who lost the only car in Sweden), and a small capsicum who really connects with the Carolina Reaper. Between them, they cover marine biology, ketamine history, and the correct lyrics to a Kanye West quote.A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Tiana Hogben and Tim Hewitt.
