There are two matinee madness shows coming up in November alongside the rest of 2023’s shows at The O2 Academy

At The O2 Academy in Edinburgh, there are two double date shows coming up on Saturday 11th and Saturday 18th November with matinee madness and evening shows, plus further evening shows on Friday October 27th, Saturday November 11th evening, Saturday November 25th evening, Saturday November 25th, Thursday December 21st, Friday December 22nd, Saturday December 30th and Sunday December 31st.

Jonny Bongo, Bongo’s Bingo’s co-founder, says: “Edinburgh is always such a crazy city for us, we’ve got a great run of shows coming up for the rest of 2023. Of course it’s not just about the evening partying – we’ve got two November double dates with daytime action too on Saturday 11th and Saturday 18th if anyone fancies some matinee madness. Our Christmas dates are already flying out for December in Edinburgh and right across Scotland with the Queen-inspired Bongo’s Will Rock You.”

Bongo’s Bingo is the most talked about night out in the United Kingdom. The original bingo rave phenomenon has rejuvenated a quintessentially quaint British pastime featuring nostalgia-soaked revelry, rave rounds, dance-offs, en masse Karaoke, crazy prizes including Henry Hoovers, giant pink fluffy unicorns and much more in a dose of pure and unadulterated escapism. There’s truly nothing else like it, just ask Samuel L Jackson.
