AceShowbiz - A group of British comedians have set a new Guinness World Record for the most people to visit a virtual pub after staging a quirky quiz to raise money for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Russell Howard and Nish Kumar headlined "The Big Comedy Pub Quiz" at 'The Covid Arms' on Friday evening, May 1, 2020, and 6,215 curious comedy fans tuned in.
The comics raised over $40,000 for the National Emergencies Trust and the pub landlords and landladies who sold 'front-row tickets' to their regulars.
Kiri Pritchard-McLean, who organised the fundraiser says, "I am elated to have been a part of making a Guinness World Records title. As a kid I used to be obsessed with the book and had my heart set on being in there... This just shows you how dedicated people are to pubs and to having a laugh in the face of difficult times!"
