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.

Layla

CONTENT AND DESIGN CREATOR

 

With bright red hair and a VERY unhealthy obsession with True Crime, Layla is our Pro Barber turned Host / Content and Design Creator! 

Her likes include Road Trips, Marvel, LEGO and MythBusters, her dislikes include not knowing the answer to quiz questions, people who don’t indicate and movies where people die.

Corinne

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR





Our resident pocket rocket! When she’s not drinking her coffee in the shower (to save time apparently), you can catch her double hosting some of our southern venues!

Gee

QUIZ MASTER | CONTENT WRITER






| SUPERVISOR

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

Alex

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR

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).

Holly

QUIZ MASTER

When she’s not spamming the Bosses personal email by accident, Holly loves long walks on the beach and will definitely argue about any topic (she is 100% wrong about). Find her hosting south of the river!

Clare

QUIZ MASTER

If you ask her, she will tell you that she has been a Dux Nuts host since the dawn of time (or at least it feels like it). With a well-known collection of followers, she can be found at our NOR shows.

Lima

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR

A newish addition to the team, Lima probably better known through her DJ gigs around Perth.

Elijah

QUIZ MASTER

Elijah hosts quizzes because he’s bad at general knowledge and doesn’t want to feel left out. He might not have any idea about the latest Hollywood scandal, but if you’re nice to him, he’ll probably throw some hints your way.

Jason

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR

Jason had been attending Dux Nuts for 6 years before he decided to test himself on the other side of the mic. A lifelong nerd who spends most of his free time gaming, watching movies & hanging out with his dogs.

Sam

QUIZ MASTER

After several years of playing gigs all over Perth, Sam is no stranger to an audience. As a regular quizzer and self-proclaimed film buff, he’s decided to give hosting a shot!

Chloe

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR

Looking for a host who’s as quirky and colourful as the questions they’re asking? Meet Chloe, the sassy, blue-haired quiz master who’s here to “make your brain hurt” in the best way possible! Or at least that’s what we think her ex-boyfriends meant when they said that about her.

Poppy

QUIZ MASTER

If you’re looking for a quiz master who is always down for a laugh, look no further! Poppy is a bubbly and friendly host who has a passion for performing.

Mel

CONTENT WRITER

Mel nerds out on pop culture, music and loves the sound of her own voice so  quiz hosting was a natural fit. In her down time she enjoys burlesque, comedy, cooking and hanging with her cat Meatball.

Liam

CONTENT WRITER

Ness

CONTENT WRITER

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.

Shabana

QUIZ MASTER | CONTENT WRITER

Hailing from sunny California with an even sunnier personality, Shabana realised her destiny was to be a quizmaster after consistently dominating the music round at her local DuxNuts quiz nights! You can ask her for help but be aware that she’s also known for occasionally being overly confident in very incorrect answers.

Lachie

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVISOR

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.

Kaitlyn

QUIZ MASTER

Kaitlyn is Canadian, NOT American. She knows everything about ice hockey (the ONLY hockey) as long as you only ask her about her team, the Edmonton Oilers.

Abbie

QUIZ MASTER

Never wanting others to feel bad, Abbie has made sure to have a complete lack of general knowledge, and an inability to stop talking, that will make you leave every quiz night feeling like a genius!

Parker

QUIZ MASTER | CONTENT WRITER






| SUPERVISOR

Parker may be plain on the eyes, and he is, but it will feel like you have Haemorrhoids when he starts hosting because, you’ll be on the edge of your seat!

Sophie

QUIZ MASTER

Likes: sport, cats and holding all the answers
Dislikes: dnb, the sun, writing bios

Harry

QUIZ MASTER

 Hired to tick the “token ginger” box. He’s hilarious, a claim which is still awaiting management confirmation and approval.

Kaitlin

QUIZ MASTER | CONTENT WRITER





| SUPERVISOR

Meet Kaitlin: Pub quiz maestro and Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, guiding adventures with an espresso martini in hand – a perfect blend of trivia, fantasy, and coffee-infused hosting magic!

Bek

QUIZ MASTER | CONTENT WRITER

Crazy Cat Lady? Maybe. But what’s life without a little crazy?

You can find Bek in Katanning. When she’s not hosting quizzes at Premier Mill, you might catch her on stage with the local dramatic society. If you don’t see her around, she’s probably at home with her 5 cats.

Jemay

QUIZ MASTER

He has a Diploma in Sound Production and has done a decent amount of traveling in his time. Still, Jemay will never get a geography question right and will most certainly botch the music round. There’s a reason why he’s on the mic and not on your team!

Lachlan

QUIZ MASTER

Emergency travel barber, ritualistic shaman, amateur sommelier. What can’t Lachlan do? Answer: win a quiz night. That’s why he’s decided to host them instead.

Marco

QUIZ MASTER

After never cracking higher than 3rd place, Marco decided it was time to hang up the answer sheet and start hosting. His favourite part about working at Duxnuts? Getting to call himself “Quizmaster” (yes it’s a real job title). He’s always happy to give hints, just don’t expect him to laugh at a Marco Polo joke. He’s heard them all before.

Declan

QUIZ MASTER

When Declan isn’t quiz hosting he’s likely brushing up on something pop culture related, always ready to give you a fun fact about any topic. If you’re really nice to him, he’ll likely give you a hint or two.

Elley

QUIZ MASTER

For what she lacks in general knowledge she makes up for in music! You can catch Elley at some of our SOR venues.

Jess

QUIZ MASTER

Jess is a quiz night enthusiast with a passion for music, Mario kart and random geography facts. When she’s not hosting or taking part in quizzes with her friends, you’ll likely find her learning random facts, playing one of her many musical instruments, trying to get her pet cat Latte to love her, or sleeping.

Erin

QUIZ MASTER

She’s supposed to be studying, but in an act of ultimate procrastination she decided to host quizzes instead. As fast as trivia hooked her in, it also revealed a competitive side she didn’t know she had. It was ugly… Everyone is safer with Erin behind the mic and armed with the answers. For everyone’s safety we also ask that you don’t challenge her to Mario Kart in any form.

Angela

QUIZ MASTER

Couldn’t beat them so I joined them… Self-proclaimed professional yapper turned quiz host!

Aidan

QUIZ MASTER​

If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, then you’ll probably get along with Aidan (just don’t try to cheat!)

Mira

QUIZ MASTER​

Quirky, quick-witted, and fueled by dark humour, I live to make people laugh. I’m obsessed with advertising (catch me binge-watching Gruen), witchcraft and a bit of everyday magic, and utterly devoted to my cat, Cricket.

Tracy

QUIZ MASTER

Possibly the most outgoing introvert you’ll ever meet. Tracy is a colour-coordinating, animal-loving, crafty human who believes life’s too short for dull moments. Known for her quick wit and warm humour, she finds joy in creating, connecting, and adding a little sparkle to the everyday.
 

Nadine

QUIZ MASTER | SUPERVIOR

A familiar face who just can’t stay away, she’s been part of the team for years and keeps coming back for more trivia fun. As a German who somehow ended up with a sense of humor, she brings not only banter but terrible dance moves during music round.

RIKI

QUIZ MASTER

A nerdy data analyst by day, your friendly neighbourhood quizmaster by night. Riki is a simple man – give him a pint of craft Hazy IPA and bring up Taylor Swift, footy, Hunger Games theories, or that random black & white indie movie you watched and he’ll talk your ear off!
