QUIZZO

One might say Quizzo host-with-the-most Johnny Goodtimes has come a long way since starting his trivia game at Nick's Roast Beef in 2002 — that, heck, the whole damned Quizzolating enterprise of boozy camaraderie and rowdy song requests stands to outgrow his nights at the Dive, Doc Watson's, Black Sheep and Locust Rendezvous. Up next: a Quizzo Bowl showdown at World Café Live featuring cabaret band Lunchbox Cowgirls, the Kyle Dunleavy Steel Drum Quartet and breakdancers. "When you go to a world-class music venue, it's to be entertained, not to take part in the action," says Goodtimes. "When you play Quizzo, that's pretty much [all you do]." Competing teams can earn eight points simply by buying tickets in advance, and there's a scavenger hunt at www.johnnygoodtimes.com to earn even more. It's on.

The Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular: Beat The Champs, Sun., Aug. 28, 6 p.m., $10-$12, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com.
