Hosted and produced by Russel Harder, Trivia Club is a live event that currently takes place at four locations across Toronto, Ontario, Canada! A podcast version of the live event, called Pause + Play, can also be found as part of the Trivia Club Network on iTunes! 

The event is three rounds of trivia! The first round is classic pub-style trivia, called Trivia Classic! The second round is Game Show Games, interactive questions based on well-known game shows! The third round is fewer questions for more points, called Tri-Pardo, followed by the Trivia Finale! 

Trivia Club can be found across Toronto, from our Leslieville location at Hitch (1216 Queen St East) every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month, to The Rec Room (255 Bremner Blvd) the most exciting new event center in Toronto every Tuesday, the warm and comfy Farside (600 Gerrard St East) every 1st and 3rd Wednesday and the beautiful and cozy diner The Ace (231A Roncesvalles Ave) every 2nd and 4th Wednesday. Each location, thanks to phenomenal support from regular participants, also celebrates the anniversary of it's first night of trivia with an annual competition. In addition to being awarded a Golden VHS tape, annual victors at Hitch win the Christopher Hitchens Cup, and in celebrating the anniversary of Trivia Club as a whole, our very own Stanley Cup... the Golden VCR is awarded after the Grand Championship Grand Prix which lasts throughout the month of April! Originally the Golden VCR was given out at Cardinal Rule! Cardinal Rule was Trivia Club's Original Home in Roncesvalles, a location that saw 245 trivia events from 2012 to 2017!

Every Friday a new episode of the Pause + Play podcast can be found on our website, as well as through the Trivia Club Network of podcasts that can be subscribed to on iTunes, as well as SoundCloud. Pause + Play was featured on the CBC's Podcast Playlist on March 10th, 2017, as part of their "Games people play" episode, with Russel Harder asking Lindsey Michael and award-winning Toronto news personality Matt Galloway trivia questions.

Trivia Club also operates Extra Curricular events, largely on-line games which are free to all those who are interested! These Extra Curricular events include the Oscar Confidence Pool, as well as a Summer Movie Wager, and also the Saturday Night Live Fantasy League which has seen participants from across Canada and the United States, as well as Ireland! The Saturday Night Live Fantasy League has expanded exponentially in its five years of operation.

An alumni of the Atlantic Theatre Company Acting School in New York City, Russel Harder began Trivia Club in April of 2012 at Cardinal Rule and has watched it grow from a once a month event to an event that can be found two to three times a week across Toronto.
