Geek Of The Year

Geek Of The Year

OnlinePrint

In November 2010, www.geeks.co.uk asked us to event manage the first annual Geek of the Year event. This casual, friendly and quirky awards ceremony was to celebrate what it meant to be a “geek” in the 21st Century. The event was held at The Underbelly in Hoxton with a panel of judges in place to crown the first Geek of the Year 2010 - one such judge being The Inbetweeners’ writer Iain Morris.



The evening featured stand up comedy from Tiffany Stevenson, Adam Bloom and Carl Donnely with music was provided by ABoF’s very own Ex Libras. The evening ended with a DJ set from awards circuit DJs Pipe N’ Slippers.





The evening was a success with a whole stack of brilliant comments on the night. Comedian Adam Bloom mentioned it was one of his “best shows ever”, whilst Geeks’ Editor Ally Millar gave a glowing review:

"When we're organising our next event, ABoF can expect their phone to ring.

"Their attention to the finite, and the fundamental, details of planning during the Geek of the Year event ensured we had the awards show that we wanted from the outset."
