This Camp & Furnace institution has become a rite of passage for all Scousers and we’re going to spell out why.

Now a Scouse institution, Bongo’s Bingo has come such a long way from a humble idea to revamp a nan-tastic game of luck, to entertaining the masses around the globe. With top class music acts, mad prizes, dance offs, fancy dress and now international awards and a chocker 2018 lined up, we’ve got The A-Z of Bongo’s Bingo all sewn up.

Money, Money, Money

You can win seriously big prizes at Bongo’s Bingo. Cash jackpots range from 100’s or 1,000’s of pounds to just about covering your cab ride home, well who can argue with that?

Nostalgia

Instead of booking top DJ’s or whoever is topping the current charts, Bongo’s Bingo loves taking us back to yesteryear with the likes of Miss Dynamite, Artful Dodger and S Club 7 bringing the nineties and noughties back with vengeance.

OMG

Prizes

From a cardboard cut out of Philip Schofield and garden gnomes to a Caribbean holiday, a dildo and an actual Porsche, it’s safe to say the prizes at Bongo’s Bingo go from the hilarious to the sublime.

Quiz

Famous for his regular quiz nights at Liverpool venues such as The Shipping Forecast and The Merchant, Johnny Bongo brings elements of those humble beginnings into the Bongo’s Bingo we know and love today.

Slutty Sue

Adding to the absolute chaos (and tbf, they start most of it) is Slutty Sue. The fancy dress wearing, Coco Pop launching, dance-off winning character that is actually a bit of a star herself.

Trestle Tables

If you’ve not already been to Bongos Bingo, prepare to be thrown into the mix with tonnes of other revellers on long trestle tables that basically mean you’ll make loads of new mates. The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant as everyone gets up, gets loud and has a ball.
