Helium Elements Academy: Bingo! (Dad Joke Edition)

Helium Elements Academy: Bingo! (Dad Joke Edition) is coming to Helium & Elements Restaurant on Saturday, November 14, at 7 PM. It's a comedy bingo night that does something a bit different from the usual: instead of numbers, the game is built around dad jokes. One of the venue's favorite St. Louis comedians takes the mic and delivers the setups, and the audience races to find the matching punchlines on their cards. Five in a row makes BINGO.

If you've ever been the person in the room who can't help but groan at a bad pun, this is your kind of night. The whole thing is a race to see who can spot the punchline first, and since it's a comedy club, the atmosphere is more about the laughs than the high stakes. You can also order apps to snack on while you play, so it works as a full evening out rather than just a quick stop.

There are prizes for the winners, too. They're giving away comedy tickets, gift cards, food and beverage vouchers, Helium and comedian swag, and other giveaways from local businesses. If you're playing with a group, it's a good excuse to get together and see who among you has the best ear for a punchline.

On the practical side, the room is 18+ and fully accessible. General admission is first-come, first-served, so if you're coming with a crowd, you'll want to get there early to snag a spot together; reserved seating is also available if you'd rather have a guaranteed table. All sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. The night kicks off at 7 PM on Saturday, November 14, at Helium & Elements Restaurant.
