Calum has been with The Good Hosts since day one. He is a man of many talents, from acting to working in hospo, retail , even hustling as a magician, clown AND Superhero.

Hosting pub quizzes is the job he's enjoyed the most, because not only are people forced to listen to his jokes, it also means he can find uses for all the useless information that he has stored.

​

He takes all the fun facts he's collected over a lifeime of guzzling back trivia and sprays them over a tipsy audience with a good dash of comedy mixed in.

Or maybe... "I just like the job because they give you beer"
