The infamous Bongo’s Bingo has revealed four of its April shows at Edinburgh’s 02 Academy. If you’ve never been to a bingo rave before, it’s as crazy as it sounds, where chaos meets organised rebellion in the form of an honest game of bingo.
The organisers have merged the traditional British pastime with nostalgic revelry, rave rounds, dance-offs, Karaoke rounds and crazy prizes in a bid for unhinged escapism. Expect dancing on tables, winning crazy prizes such as Henry Hoover or a mobility scooter and just one of the most fun nights ever.
Bongo’s Bingo was founded by Jonny Bongo and Joshua Burke in Liverpool in 2015, and now it’s one of the biggest night outs in the UK, selling out huge venues. There are 17 hosts performing across the 40+ locations in the UK, from Glasgow to London and from Manchester to Edinburgh. What is more, the popular show also has regular dates in Dubai and has held seasons in Ibiza and Australia.
Jonny Bongo, Bongo’s Bingo co-founder, says: “Almost 9 years in and it’s still surreal to reflect on our journey. We’re hyped to be getting stuck into 2024 and the biggest pinch-me moment of the year so far is embarking on our long-awaited venture to break America. We’re launching in New York on Saturday February 17 th with a run of three shows.
We also have plans to perform at more festivals than ever before including our party sets at Snowbombing, Mighty Hoopla, The Cambridge Club and others. And right now, we’re super excited to have our Edinburgh April dates on sale at The O2 Academy.”
You can get your tickets from the Bongo’s Bingo website.
