Ginger’s Big Drag Bingo Overview

Ginger's Big Drag Bingo

Ginger’s Big Drag Bingo UK was born out of a mission to make nights out more fabulous. Instead of the quiet tones (and sometimes seriousness) of traditional bingo, Ginger adds fierce drag energy, over the top performances, party anthems, outrageous humour, and a club-style atmosphere. 

This event is all about combining the climax of winning bingo prizes with jaw dropping drag performances. It really is a wild weekend at a Ginger event! Expect lots of audience participation and comedy. From small city venues to big party spaces, this is a bingo extravaganza that bingo-lovin’ partygoers will love. 

Ginger is an entrepreneur and events specialist with an array of live shows in her repertoire, and when she’s not hosting her Big Drag Bingo nights you can find her serving up Ginger’s Big Drag Brunch, burning it off again at Drag Aerobics Online, and promoting Kiki: A Drag Cabaret.

She is a passionate advocate of drag as an inclusive art form where there is place for everyone to express themselves. As Ginger told City University News:

Drag is exploring gender. It’s breaking down the notions of what society deems to be male and female. It’s having fun and it’s not being scared to present this array of gender identity. I think we’re way past female and male now“.
