Melbourne is getting a bingo night that would scare the pearls off your nanna. Bingo Loco is an outrageous bingo night from Ireland, and it's steamrolling into Melbourne for two nights this April.
The event styles itself as a bingo rave, two words that you would never expect to see side by side. Bingo Loco started in Ireland, where it quickly filled up every venue it could find in the Emerald Isle. Now it’s coming to Australia, and punters can expect the same high energy and wild antics that made it so popular back home.
Yes, the event features bingo – but more importantly it also features big tunes, confetti showers, speed Macarena, conga lines, loud-mouthed stage performers, lip-sync battles, dance offs, crazy fancy dress costumes and an atmosphere that would make your average bingo players faint.
This isn’t bingo for shrinking violets, so make sure you practice your loudest voice – you’ll need to scream to be heard. There are lots of prizes up for grabs too, with past prize pools featuring overseas trips, retro Gameboys and giant teddy bears (as well as less prestigious prizes like bags of rubbish and dildos).
Bingo Loco is on for two nights in Melbourne, and tickets are available now.
