Bogan Bingo

If you are looking for something completely different on a Thursday night, you might want to mark your calendar for Bogan Bingo at Komedia Brighton on April 9, 2026. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show kicking off at 8:00 PM in the Komedia Basement. This isn't your typical night out; it’s an Australian comedy game show that has been running for ten years in Brighton, mixing chaos, comedy, and classic 80s anthems. It’s often described as the 'Aussie Comedy Game Show with Balls,' and it’s known for its high energy and audience interaction.

The show is famous for its unpredictable atmosphere, driven by two Australian hosts who guide the audience through an 'eye watering' version of bingo. Expect air guitars, ridiculous prizes, and what they openly call 'appalling' choreography, all set to a soundtrack of 80s hits. It’s definitely an adult night out, as the event is strictly 18+. Seating is cabaret style and unreserved, and you can grab snacks while you watch the mayhem unfold. The show has earned positive feedback over the years, with The Argus calling the experience 'glorious' and Three Weeks describing it as 'fantastically funny, cheerfully silly.'

While the Thursday night show is a monthly fixture at Komedia, if that date doesn't work for you, they also offer the Bogan Bingo Bottomless Brunch on select Saturdays throughout the year (for example, February 28, March 28, or April 11, 2026). The brunch format runs from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM and includes 90 minutes of unlimited selected drinks, a brunch meal (with four options, including vegan/vegetarian choices), the bingo show, and a DJ set afterward playing 80s and 90s hits. If you are planning a big group outing and booking tickets individually, Komedia suggests emailing tickets@komedia.co.uk beforehand to arrange table reservations and pre-order your food, ensuring everything runs smoothly for your party.
