One contacts them for a chance to become a quizmaster by email. HR sends an email with a quick 3 question script to read back on her voicemail. Then you wait. I waited a week and no reply so I emailed again. Finally an email reply. She passed on me. I do stand up comedian and I teach art classes so I can speak and be entertaining. It is a male dominated group with few females and I see way. Plus I am over 40 which may be an issue them. I tried out a year before but during a difficult time due to a temporary move. Sad as I played GWD for years with awesome quizmaster. A former female quizmaster had issue with them.They are hurting for more staff as there emails show cancelled events which is due to missing quizmasters.

Interview
Show up, introduce yourself to the area managers, and read a few rounds. It usually takes place at a bar or a restaurant and is like an open mic format. Sometimes people there will heckle you. It's part of the gig. Nothing too critical or serious - but the crowd wants to see if you're sociable and of a reasonable personality.
