Bored of heading to the same old clubs, bars and restaurants, week in and week out? Well, this absolutely bananas bingo rave might be the unforgettable weekend experience you’ve been waiting for! The award-winning Bongo’s Bingo takes the quintessentially quaint British pastime and adds a large dollop of madness to the mix.
The game of probability, where players mark off numbers drawn at random, was once one of the most popular activities in the UK, but these days, is more often seen as stuffy, twee and outdated. This immersive live show has injected bingo with new life for a younger generation, however, featuring rave rounds, dance-offs, and crazy prizes; including, giant pink unicorns, Henry Hoovers, and mobility scooters.
As we step into the new year, Bongo’s Bingo is returning to Birmingham as it prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary. After sold-out Christmas editions, it’s back with even more magic and mayhem with a run of winter shows at The Forum – including an 80s special and a St. Patrick’s Day special. Expect en masse karaoke, audience participation, stage performances and plenty more maddening moments from one of the most outlandish afternoons you’ll ever experience.
Bongo’s Bingo is the UK’s original bingo rave and the brainchild of Jonney Lacey AKA Jonny Bongo. After years of running ludicrous quiz nights in Liverpool, Jonny remixed the stale impression of bingo and launched Bongo’s Bingo in 2015. Since then, it has toured the world. Performing in places as far-flung as Australia, Dubai, Ibiza and Amsterdam – and it recently launched in the US too.
“We’ve got an incredible run of shows coming up in Birmingham, The Forum is such an amazing spot – it’s our home in Birmingham and the crowds there are always electric,” said Jonny Bongo. “Having these dates ready to roll is the perfect way to get 2025 going. We can’t wait to make this year unforgettable for everyone, and this is just the start as we celebrate a decade of Bongo’s Bingo in 2025!”
