Bingo in Drag?

While online bingo is all the rage, if you ever happen to meander your way into London - then you could quite literally end-up being 'dragged' into one of the latest bingo concepts!

Stemming from the closure and drabness of traditional bingo parlours up and down the UK, smart entrepreneurs came up with the innovative idea of sticking their fingers up to the credit crunch - with a slap stick new form of bingo - oh yes, and did I forget to mention the odd drag queen bingo caller?

One seriously popular bingo venue among those in the know can be found lurking underground in Islington's Rebel Club – where you can play bingo for £1 a go while drinking the night away and enjoying the banter between the drag caller and the stand up comedian side-kick.

While the prizes don't get anywhere the online bingo jackpot levels – this new breed of comedy cabaret come bingo, seems just perfect for combating the credit crunch nonsense. In fact, insiders suggest that the new 'who dares wins' attitude of bingo could become something of a cult trend as we move in to 2009. The question is – which venue can come up with the most extreme and risqué bingo games?
