WOMP Events: The Boys Mean Business

It’s shaping up to be a whirlwind season for WOMP Events, the crew behind some of Ireland’s most beloved and brilliantly chaotic quiz nights. After a packed summer of ideas, planning, and a few caffeine-fuelled brainstorms, Niall Horisk and Ronan Clancy are rolling into autumn with an events calendar that’s somehow still full of surprises. Check out the lineup here...

Big Screen, Small Screen, Pálás Cinema, Criminals, Corporates, DJs, Common Knowledge, and.. a Caravan.

First up, they're back for a third time at the iconic Trailer Park at Electric Picnic (Aug 28–31). Now a firm festival staple, expect a mix of madcap trivia, music-infused nonsense, and some beautifully shambolic energy. Then it’s back to their spiritual home at The Ol’ 55 in September for a fresh run of the popular Common Knowledge Quiz Nights. These are no ordinary pub quizzes, it’s trivia with heart, humour, and the occasional heckle. Mark your calendars for Sept 9 & 23, Oct 7 & 14, and Nov 4 & 18.

But the team isn’t stopping at quizzes this time. WOMP is officially dipping a toe into the music world with a series of DJ nights that are shaping up to be as unhinged as they are joyful. Presenting Ferdilicious & His Tasty Treats, the name says it all. Expect techno beats, snacks, and quirky vibes in equal measure. Catch him on Sept 10, Oct 8, and Nov 12. This marks WOMP’s return to music events, and if history is any guide, it’s going to be equal parts delightful and delicious.

Fans of the quiz format, don’t fret, there are still big hitters on the board. There’s a GREAT BIG SMALL SCREEN Quiz coming to Róisín Dubh this October 13, a celebration of TV that will have you yelling answers across the table at your mates. Then comes the GREAT BIG BIG SCREEN Quiz, hitting Pálás Cinema on Tues Oct 21, opening night of the Galway Comedy Festival 2025. Expect huge energy, cinematic trivia, and a packed house of film fanatics.

Rounding out the year, WOMP is bringing Wise Up: A Criminal Quiz to Róisín Dubh on November 26. Think murder, mystery, and mayhem… but, you know, fun.

And let’s not forget the festive season. The team is already receiving Christmas party bookings, drawing on their reputation for balancing comedy, chaos, and genuine quality time. Don’t delay til the last minute and book your corporate celebrations with WOMP by emailing hello@wompevents.com.

Whether you’re a TV nerd, a trivia buff, or someone who just wants a good night out, WOMP has something for you. All tickets and bookings for WOMP Events are available through their website at wompevents.com.
