OUR STORY: Phil Farda, comedian and creator of local entertainment brand Comedy CNY, attended a random trivia night hosted by fellow comedian Will Phillips. "I never had any interest in trivia, but I laughed so hard and had the best time, Will was an incredibly entertaining host and the game was fun," explains Farda on how comedy turned into trivia. Will and Phil combined forces to create the comedy infused trivia brand Stage Time Trivia in 2015. They describe the service as "trivia night with a comedy twist" and ensure the night is more about socializing with friends and having fun than necessarily knowing all the correct answers. Stage Time Trivia expanded to bars throughout the Greater Utica Area receiving praise from players for being entertaining and accessible to the everyday bar goer. Questions focus mostly on pop culture, movies, music, and entertainment, with some popular sports sprinkled in along the way. The hosts ensure players have a great time regardless of how full of knowledge their brains might be, and the game format is designed in such a way that gives every team an opportunity to win. In 2017 Stage Time Trivia launched their online subscription service which makes the game available to bars, restaurants, and hosts nationwide. Locations looking to host their own unique trivia night, or hosts looking for fresh content, can subscribe to the service at stagetimetrivia.com and will get a complete new game download each week for a small monthly subscription fee. In March 2020, the COVID global pandemic effectively shut down all bar and restaurant business nationwide so Stage Time Trivia moved online with a weekly live stream broadcast with our friends at Fish Guy Media Network. This online interactive trivia night has since evolved into an interactive comedy talk show and play along. Hosted by comedian Phil Farda, engineered by comedians Josh Fish and Jason Zongrone, and featuring a variety of special guests and co-hosts players can play along at home on our interactive scoreboard and win real life prizes via a random drawing at the end of the game. We will continue to deliver the most fun, most entertaining comedy-filled trivia nights anywhere! Thank you for playing and following our page! Your Trivia Masters, Phil Farda & Will Phillips
