Fringe Review: Quiz Icarus a treat for trivia fans
Quiz Icarus Article content Stage 1, ATB Westbury Theatre, 10330 84 Ave. Article content They flew too close to the sun, but oh, it was so worth it. Article content Toronto-based performers Nam Nguyen and Aaron Brown are bonded by their passion for Jeopardy, a love that has shaped their lives in many ways. Brown became a trivia night host, hosting multiple games at various pubs, while Nguyen moved into the world of theatre, keeping his love for the long-running game show to obsessively watching with his girlfriend at the end of the night. Article content They got their dream in 2024, and while the retelling from both angles is actually fascinating, it's what lies underneath that really grabs. Article content Because Quiz Icarus isn't just about getting a shot at becoming a champion trivia master, it's about community. A community of nerds obsessed with knowledge for knowledge's sake, the intricacies of a game that seems fairly straightforward from the outside, even with each other. Article content If you're a fan of trivia, and who isn't, you'll want to prepare yourself because half the fun is answering the questions that pop up throughout the show via the giant Jeopardy screen in the background.
