Bingo Loco

There are few things that get people's hearts racing as much as a rave does. But that doesn’t mean it has to be the drug induced, lost in a forest, or throwback to the illegal raves of the 90s. Rave culture has evolved in some really weird and surprising ways...

Bingo. Yeah with your Gran. It’s about time you started spending more time with her….Well, you can bring your Gran, provided she is up for a bit of sauce. This is a Bingo night like no other. This is Bingo Loco.

Described as “the bastard child of traditional bingo...the conventional Bingo Cartel don’t like what we do.” This weird night combines your gran’s favourite pastime with sex, booze, music, dancing and BALLS. If that doesn’t sell you on it, what will?



“People know what bingo is and yes, it’s a casually boring event at the best of times usually for grannies and their buddies… but that’s where we come in. We make bingo exciting and weird for people.” Bingo Loco is a complete party from start to finish. It’s hedonistic and full of high energy. “One minute you’re marking off a number, the next you’re in a conga line, jumping to techno, singing a song, rapping, booze in hand, crowd surfing: you name it.” Packed full with anyone and everyone, Bingo Loco is sure to deliver a night full of “WTF” immersive moments.



You won’t know what to expect at any given moment. “You’ll see people on stage doing sex positions, dance offs, raving and winning mad prizes.” These prizes are not your average ‘lifetime supply of tea’ or ‘new pair of knitting needles’. Why not try on a double ended 18 inch dildo, or a TV from the 90s, blow up dolls, festival tickets or maybe just cold hard cash? Naturally some prizes will be good, but the real gems are the nonsense prizes you can win, because who really wants to go to Forbidden Fruit? Give me a monster TV any day.



It’s safe to say that Bingo Loco is aptly named. And they are getting so big they’ve had to move to the Wright Venue. Which is impressive in its own right considering that they have only thrown a handful of events so far! So, if you’re looking for a night that makes you go “What the hell is going to happen next?” or “Jesus, what have I signed up for?”, then Bingo Loco is the place for you.
