Bongo’s Bingo has got dates coming up in Edinburgh this August as The Fringe returns this summer.
The Fringe is the spectacular three-week celebration of performing arts that takes place in Edinburgh every August and takes over the city. The wonderful story dates back to 1947, when eight theatre groups turned up uninvited to perform at the Edinburgh International Festival, and over the decades it’s become the world’s premier festival for all things creative. And as always, Bongo’s Bingo has got select dates during The Fringe at The Corn Exchange at the ultimate bingo-rave phenomenon. So for anyone looking for an alternative night out during the festivities, Bongo’s Bingo is the place to be.
Bongo’s Bingo’s dates during The Fringe are: Saturday 2nd and Saturday 9th, with a final August date on Saturday 30th August: www.bongosbingo.co.uk/city/40/edinburgh/
Bongo’s Bingo’s co-founder Jonny Bongo says: “We all absolutely love The Fringe – a spectacular celebration of the arts in a truly beautiful city. We’ve got some Bongo’s Bingo shows taking place in August, so for anyone looking for an alternative dose of magic and mayhem, we’re the place to be for our unrivalled bingo escapism.”
Since its humble origins in Liverpool back in spring 2015, Bongo’s Bingo has expanded across the UK selling over 5 million tickets, taking place in over 40 UK locations to far-flung fun and frolics in Ibiza, New York, Dubai and Australia. During this time Bongo’s Bingo has proudly and lovingly reinvented the quaint pastime for a new generation. It unites people from all walks of life in a wild social extravaganza. There’s truly nowhere else like Bongo’s Bingo to be immersed in hours of pure escapism, hedonism and a gigantic dollop of nostalgia.
