About David Morton At The Master Builder’s
When starting off monthly quiz nights at any venue it often starts off slowly and builds over time, but the first quiz night at The Master Builder’s Hotel, which will be on the first Tuesday of every month from now onwards, was a roaring success.
The success was down to not only a really great crowd of people but also the quirky excellence of David Morton the quiz master. He managed to bring together a good set of questions with fun and humour mixed in so that however well you did, you could not help but thoroughly enjoy the evening – and after all when you come out at night that is just what everyone wants.
David has an enviable track record in the entertainment business. He is now a much sought after entertainer running quiz nights across the region, so the Master Builder’s Hotel feels lucky to have gained his services and looks forward to many great nights of entertainment and laughter to come.
