The Poetical Pub Quiz is scheduled for 12 November 2026 at The Pleasance Edinburgh. Hosted by Ross McCleary and Beth Cochrane, this competitive quiz will test participants' knowledge of poetry and pub quiz trivia. Tickets range from £11.55 to £13.67, including booking fees.
Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. But do you know who actually said that? If you do, you might just be in luck. Join Ross McCleary and Beth Cochrane, aka Slamothy Jones, for a highly competitive and stylishly aggressive poetry pub quiz that will stretch the definitions of Poetic General Knowledge and Pub Quizzery alike. To err is human; to forgive, divine, but tonight if you err you’ll be shamed before your contemporaries. And for the winner, the greatest reward a Poet can receive: Exposure. So get your rhyming caps on and think like a Poet.
