Indeedy Musical Bingo

Overview

Raise the roof with a pack of tracksuit-wearing grannies when Indeedy Musical Bingo moonwalks into Sydney in a couple of weeks' time. Part dance party, part game show, this kitsch-tastic musical phenomenon will make its Australian debut at The Forresters in Surry Hills on Thursday, October 15. Expect singing, dancing and ridiculous prizes ranging from vintage records to inflatable bananas.

Created by Jess Indeedy and her husband Charles 'DJ Helix' Brockbank, Indeedy Musical Bingo is more or less what it sounds like: bingo, but with songs instead of numbers. Eagle eared players cross songs off their list as they hear them, in a high stakes contest to claim whatever ridiculous prizes happen to be on offer. Game themes may include dance anthems, hip hop, yacht rock, motown or just about anything else. Indeedy hosts, and will be joined on stage by a team of dancing old ladies known collectively as The Granny Pack.

It may all sound ridiculous (and we suspect it probably is), but Indeedy Musical Bingo has been popular in London and New York for a while now, in venues such as Shoreditch House, Shop & Do, Soho House New York and The Bell House Brooklyn. Their Sydney shenanigans will kick off at 8pm on October 15 and should wrap up just before midnight – depending on how people are keen to keep dancing.
