The title gives away the premise of the show - the audience puts answers to White and he tries to come up with the answers.
He begins with the classic introduction of talking to various members of the audience, and the added characteristic of ensuring he gets the spelling of their names right - a small touch but a nice one. The youngest member of the audience is given a title and a role in proceedings. There's some communal singing to bring everyone together, and then we're split into teams. White's banter is sharp, but never cruel, just the right side of acidic.
From a Trivial Pursuit set the teams give answers from their cards and White tried to nail the answer, or at least gives one that gets a laugh. He's quick in improvising responses, and has an impressive store of knowledge to draw on. There are various interludes in between, including more singing (he's a decent enough guitarist too), and at the end the winners are announced, and a surprise conclusion drawn.
It's an amiable show, frequently funny, but the repetitive nature of some aspects can become a bit tedious and I was glad when it drew to a close. Possibly more suited to families, especially with teenagers, than a more mature audience.
Ziuq is on in Stand 4 at 13.15 until 26 August.
