Not On Your Rider Xmas Extravaganza 2022

Overview

They're entertaining to watch, and fun to play along with from the comfort of your own couch. But music quiz TV shows like Spicks and Specks and Never Mind the Buzzcocks always leave even their biggest fans wanting more. Who hasn't wished that they could show off their own music trivia knowledge in the same kind of setting? (And not just down at the local pub with your mates.)

That's where Not On Your Rider comes in. A music trivia game show, it's hosted by The Creases' Aimon Clark, and features Velociraptor's Jeremy Neale and The Grates' Patience Hodgson as team captains — and it happens live in Brisbane. Also, while the two on-stage teams are always filled with musos, comedians, drag queens and other guests, anyone can buy a ticket, sit at a table and play along with them.

Thats how the event plays out every month, but the December outing will be a bit different — because Not On Your Rider is getting festive. This time, Robert Irwin, Kate Miller-Heidke, Ruby Fields, Boy Swallows Universe author Trent Dalton and Australian Idol's Ian 'Dicko' Dickson will be joining in the fun. And, because Christmas is a big occasion, it's all going down from 6pm on Saturday, December 10 at Fortitude Music Hall.

If you're a NOYR newcomer, the quiz itself is accompanied by chats about the music industry, as well as other mini games involving attendees. Plus, resident band leader Simi Lacroix will be taking care of the tunes, with help an all-star group of musicians who'll be busting out quirky covers.
