Trivia titan, the ‘Dark Destroyer’ Shaun Wallace returns to Aotearoa this November for an eight-stop quiz tour across the country in partnership with Cure Kids and Sky’s Believe it Or Not (BION), New Zealand's largest provider of weekly pub quizzes, trivia and quiz nights.

A Cure Kids and BION ambassador, Shaun will host a series of Cure Kids Quiz Nights around the motu with one hundred percent of the profits from the events being donated to the charity. Events will be MC’d by Cure Kids Engagement Lead, Will Hall, who is no stranger to a pub quiz, having starred in popular TV drama Nothing Trivial.

Will Hall, Cure Kids Engagement Lead says, "We’re absolutely delighted to be teaming up with Shaun Wallace and Believe it or Not for this exciting tour. It’s a fantastic opportunity to raise vital funds for child health research, while connecting with so many of our wonderful supporters right across the country.”

Shaun Wallace says, “New Zealand is one of my favourite places on earth, this will be my fifth trip in the past six years - I cannot wait. I love Kiwis, they are very good quizzers, and have always made me feel welcome, and Cure Kids is a charity straight from my heart too. See you soon Aotearoa!”

In addition to the trivia evenings, Shaun will be taking in the sights of the country, popping into the odd pub quiz, and hoping to meet as many of his fans as possible.
