We've heard of Hipster Bingo, but what is it about Bogan Bingo that sets it apart from the imposters?

Overview

Whenever someone mentions bingo, the immediate thought goes to old ladies and fellas sitting at fold-out tables in a seniors hall. Move over legs eleven, there's a new cliché in town... Bogan Bingo. It sounds impossible, but somehow it really is inevitable. We've heard of Hipster Bingo, but what is it about Bogan Bingo that sets it apart from the imposters?

The Sit Down Comedy Club, or the Paddo as your inner bogan might say, is renowned for its hilarious gigs and is now channelling that energy into a project that is sure to revive the dusty game of bingo. Even if you've tried to push it to the back of your mind, the standard rules will apply, however on the announcement of 'bingo!', you may or may not be obliged to dance on the way to claiming your prize. The prizes are said to be awesome, but then again they also have a disclaimer saying they may not be awesome, so there's an added element of surprise thrown into the mix. There'll be 80s rock all night, as well as an air-guitar competition, making Bogan Bingo less about winning something and more about having a good time on one of the bleakest nights of the week. Get down to the best bingo night in Brisbane and ditch your work clothes for some flannies, ruggers and pluggers. Durries and mullets are optional.
