Tom Gleeson and his Big Brass Mug are under siege from another four contestants with wildly eclectic expert subjects.
Chad is being quizzed on Australian zoos, Jane knows all about rap group Salt-N-Pepa, Tammy is into animated series BoJack Horseman, and David is fascinated by ballet superstar Anna Pavlova. And as always, Tom Gleeson wants to keep them all away from his Big Brass Mug.
Hard Quiz is a show like no other. Four vastly different contestants compete on four vastly different topics, all at the mercy of sarcastic host Tom Gleeson. Only one expert will emerge victorious with the Big Brass Mug, but even the winner won’t be spared Tom’s cutting quips.
They’d better bring their A-game, because there’s only one Big Brass Mug up for grabs. Come for the trivia, stay for the laughs, and play along at home with #HardQuiz!
In each episode, four everyday Aussies will pit themselves not just against each other, but against Australian’s grumpiest quiz show host. Only one can hold aloft the coveted Big Brass Mug!
The contestants’ passions are wilder than ever, from headline news and pop culture classics, through to obscure corners of science, technology, history, politics and the arts. Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson knows just how to bring the fun to any topic, and you can bet he’ll throw a curve-ball in each week with a specialist topic of his own.
Buzzers ready, Australia: it’s time to play, HARD!
