about us
running successful quizzes for over 10 years
We have a very straight forward idea about pub quizzes – that learning doesn’t have to be boring, and that terrible dad jokes and puns are applicable all the time.
Dux Nuts started as a small hobby in one venue next to the University of WA. Our keep it simple approach proved to be a hit, with good old fashioned trivia fun. As popularity grew, so too did our venue list. We now boast one of the biggest availability of quiz night’s across Western Australia and have no intention of slowing down.
Whether you need an entertaining night to drive patrons to your venue, or need to raise funds for a worthy cause, Dux Nuts has you covered for all your Trivia needs. For our players, we offer a simple model, where questions aren’t too complicated and everyone can play (doesn’t mean it’s easy though!).
Shane Musarra
FOUNDER AND
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Back in 2011, in a valiant attempt to impress a girl, Shane took on the brave task of taking over the local pub’s Quiz night. While she didn’t stick around, he stuck to his quizmmitments and hasn’t stopped ever since.
Now back in Perth after some time in Dubai, Shane helps the day to day operations and you can often see him visiting our events.
Lee Mattfield
MANAGING DIRECTOR AND
ALL ROUND NICE GUY
Lee started off his microphone in a super cliche way,
by MC’ing a local pubs Karaoke night every week
for about a year.
Assuming that this was more than enough to qualify him to assist Shane in the creation of Dux Nuts Entertainment,
he has been a staple in the quiz market, and has been terrorising the public with his horrible jokes, and his Celine Dion playlists for years.
Tristan Wroth
OPERATIONS MANAGER
He’s spent long enough running venues around Perth, we figured he’d be an alright bet to run our quizzes.
Tristan is our Ops Guy and all around fixer, there’s no challenge he runs from so from time to time we just like to create problems to keep him/us entertained.
Anna
CONTENT & DESIGN SPECIALIST
Anna is Dux Nuts’ Content & Design Specialist, which means she’s on social media a lot and makes things pretty. Anna is an avid dog spotter and the proud mother of two cats.

The face of quizzing in Morley. Find Gee regularly at Varsity Morley, and at a variety of venues each week.

Meet Charlie – corporate sales by day and quiz host by night. Enjoys basketball, beers and writing his own bio so Lee and Shane don’t write one for him.

Alex’s general knowledge might be questionable without the answer sheet, but she does know every Taylor swift lyric and will talk footy to anyone who will listen (as if hearing her host isn’t talking enough).

If you’ve got Lachie as your quiz host, stop worrying. Unless you’re planning on cheating – he’ll catch you no matter how ingenious your caper is. When Lachie’s not hosting your pub quiz, he’s madly writing an assignment that’s due tomorrow or binging the latest and greatest TV show.
Magan
QUIZ MASTER
Magan’s special talent as a quiz host is involving the audience – mainly to help her pronounce words (we let her off the hook though because she is dyslexic). She spends 90% of her time watching anime and playing video games, and the other 10% sleeping or getting tattoos.
Grace
QUIZ MASTER
Grace was affectionately dobbed in by her local community in Katanning to start quiz hosting. Grace has always loved singing and performing.

Despite this she is no use in the music round, as only ever remembers the lyrics to songs!

Ness
CONTENT WRITER | VETTER
Ness discovered her love for pub quizzes while living in London, but thinks she is probably better at hosting a quiz than playing in one. Maybe it’s true what they say – if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! Catch her grooving along to the music round songs at our northern venues.
