WHAT’S ON SYDNEY: ACON’s BINGAY IS BACK

DURING the renovations of The Shift venue on Oxford St in Sydney, the crew from ACON’s fundraising event Bingay also took a short break. Now that venue is back in full operation, so is Bingay in a new monthly-themed format.

Kicking off June 18, the first themed Bingay will take on a winder wonderland – expect Frozen meets Mardi Gras, so possibly a whole heap of shirtless hairy lumberjacks cutting ice while singing Let It Go to their reindeer best friend or snowman.

ACON events coordinator David Wilkins explains the change to the monthly format as a way to “allow us to really pump up the production values with a ridiculously camp theme every month, giving LGBTI community members and their friends a unique and hugely entertaining night out.”

The regular feeatures such as classic disco tunes, lewd bingo calls, strange rulings and amazing prizes will remain the same, with money raised to help ACON’s work for the community.

Hosts of the night are Charisma Belle and Naomi Palmer. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm sharp start, ending at around 10pm.
