We are a group of
professional entertainers
ready to bring the fun.
Lights Up! Entertainment started with our intrepid founder Josh in 2017 as a one man operation called JLR Entertainment. What began as a fun side gig soon turned into a big time operation, with some trivia events as big as 140 teams! Josh quickly realized he had something special on his hands and decided to to expand through more of the metro Atlanta area. He brought on some awesome teammates and developed more ways to entertain. We now serve up General Trivia, Themed Trivia, Music Trivia, Music Bingo and Karaoke at local bars, restaurants, private business events, parties and weddings.
