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random, was once one of the most popular activities in the UK, but these days, is more often seen as stuffy, twee and outdated.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.
Bongo’s Bingo is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and it’s looking to be bigger and better than ever as it moves to a brand-new location – The O2 Academy in the heart of the city – this spring. And, there are both matinee and evening shows, so you can perfectly fit the mayhem around your schedule. 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.
Jonny Bongo, Bongo’s Bingo’s co-founder, said: “Birmingham is one of our key locations and the crowd go wild whether it’s a matinee or night time show. It’s great to announce we’ve got our April and May shows at The O2 Academy as we continue our 10th anniversary celebrations through the year. We can’t wait to unleash the chaos and I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it’s going to go off big time.”
