The marvellous splendour of Musical Bingo



I admit I was somewhat sceptical when I was invited to Musical Bingo, mainly because it's bingo if I'm honest. Oh! How sorry I am for ever doubting you Musical Bingo, for you are a truly stupendous entity. How can anything involving Bingo lead to so much mischief and debautury?! The concept is pretty obvious so I wont go into detail, they play songs you cross them off your sheet. You also have to race to the  DJ booth to claim your line or full house so there is more of a challenge than usual.   

Believe me it can get quite heated, elbows are involved and pride is at steak. My friend has twice now thrown her toys out of the pram and given the death stare to the poor DJ who failed to check her line first, essentially meaning she missed out on a prize. Poor little Crae Crae. 

But hold on, the fun endeth not there. Once your line has been checked by one of the DJ's you forget all about remaining nonchalant and composed and hurry excitedly to the stage whereby you are showered with confetti (If only this happened every time I entered a room) as you choose to keep your prize (think novelty lollies and shots) or gamble. You might get gherkins, you might get champers (The gherkin was a booby prize btw, although not to some-weirdos). 

The compares are most entertaining, the tunes are banging and there's always dancing on the table, a must for all my nights out.  My experiences of Musical Bingo have thus far involved lots of wine, shots, dancing, shouting, much over gesticulation, glitter, non Scottish shortbread, glow sticks, bad chat up lines, meeting amazing new people and almost not being able to make it into work the next day. Perfect night then really. It really is the best organised fun Ive had all year, hurry up 19th December. Plan your visit, you must.
