What is it?
It’s Bingo!
With Drag Queens!
In Raleigh!
Normally, the event is held in Durham but for September and October, it will be held in Raleigh.
September’s event is this Saturday, September 29th at 7PM at The Raleigh Little Theatre - Rose Garden Amphitheatre.
Normally, I would shy away from anything relating to the game of bingo. I was a child of a bingo-freak. Bingo, itself, has a cult following. If you think I’m crazy, then consider yourself lucky not to be born into this cult. The very sight of a bingo dobber gives me shivers (if you don’t know what a bingo dobber is, lucky you!).
There’s an old joke you may have heard (or not) that goes something like this:
“How do you make an old lady say the “F” word?“
How?
“Yell ‘Bingo’”.
It’s really not a joke in the bingo cult. They’ll utter more than the “F” word when someone wins.
But for drag bingo, I will go. I have gone two years in a row, during their Christmas event. Both times have been hilariously fun and it actually makes me believe that I may be able to overcome the trauma of growing up in a bingo-freak home.
Besides all the fun that can be had, they actually do give out great prizes for winning. But most of all, this event generates funds for the Alliance Aids Services - Carolina.
