Compere

Every year I am the compere for our Church Quiz Night.

The compere came onto the stage holding the gold envelope that contained the winner's name.

Not only for his fighting expertise but also reminiscent of a compere in a cabaret show working the crowd, as a build up to the main event.

They were barely settled when the final song came to an end; the audience began to applaud and after a few more seconds the voice of the compere came over the PA.

I will be compering for next week's Village Fete.
