Bongo's Bingo - Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun

Bongo's Bingo is coming to Hull Asylum on Friday 30 October, a Halloween special they've titled Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun. If you've never been, it's a bit of a departure from your usual bingo night: the whole thing is built around rave rounds, nostalgia, dance-offs, audience participation and prizes. It's less about sitting still and more about getting involved.

Jonny Bongo co-founded the brand, and the whole idea was to take a quintessentially British pastime and turn it into an immersive rave. That's the core of it — the bingo is the thread that holds the night together, but the rave rounds and dance-offs are where it really kicks off. Halloween is one of the label's favourite themes, and they've leaned into it for this one, describing the show as packed with relentless bingo energy and spine-tingling terror. Fancy dress is highly encouraged, and they've added that the spookier the better, so it's a good excuse to go all out with the costume.

It's taking place at Hull Asylum, which is part of the University of Hull campus. The night starts at 7pm, and tickets are £19 each.
