20.01.2022 Bingay is gay/drag bingo which means there’s fabulous tunes, weird rules and penalties, outrageous antics, hilarious repartee, deliciously lewd bingo calls, and prizes that range from the silly and camp to great theatre tickets and restaurant vouchers. Dropping balls since 1999, Bingay takes over The Beresford on the second Thursday of each month, with each event set to a fabulously flamboyant theme. Bingay is hosted by Sydney drag star Charisma Belle and Bingay's long-time ...barrel babe Naomi Palmer. Together, the duo deliver a rambunctious and unforgettable night of bingo and balls. One of gay Sydney's much-loved community events, Bingay is also a fundraiser for ACON, NSW leading HIV prevention and LGBTQ health organisation. UPDATE: AUGUST 2020 CANCELLED Following the cancellation of our April, May, June and July events, we regret to announced that our August Bingay (13 August 2020) has also been cancelled. We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update of our September Bingay in due course. We appreciate your understanding. We want to say thank you to everyone for your continued support for Bingay. We are so grateful for your love and support, and we look forward to entertaining you all again very soon. Much love The Bingay Team

16.01.2022 BINGAY CANCELLED FOR APRIL & MAY 2020 ==================================== Dear Bingay fans, friends and supporters... Due to the ongoing threat of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the potential risk this has on our communities, Bingay will be suspended for the next two months. This means our April Bingay (16 April) and our May Bingay (14 May) have both been cancelled. We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update of our June Bingay in due course. This decision was not made lightly but the health and wellbeing of our punters, supporters, fans, employees, volunteers, venue and production staff, and event partners are of the utmost priority. We appreciate your understanding. People who have purchased tickets to our April Bingay can re-schedule to a future event or get a full refund. Ticket holders will be contacted.

05.01.2022 Friends! We were ready to kick off Bingay's much-anticipated return earlier this month with an August extravaganza but due to the ever-evolving situation with COVID-19 in NSW, we have made the difficult decision to defer our relaunch once again. The health and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, clients and punters are our top priority - we hope you understand. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will keep you updated of our plans as we progress. Thank you for all your love and support. We will see you very soon x

05.01.2022 What an amazing comeback party! Thank you Sydney WE HAVE MISSED YOU! After seven long months, it was great to entertain all our amazing Bingay fans, friends, guests and, of course, newcomers again. We are truly grateful for all your passion, enthusiasm and support. Thank you, too, for being patient as we navigated our way with our new COVID Safe rules! The welfare of all our guests, staff, performers and volunteers is our priority and we thank you for being gracious and un...derstanding with our new safety/socially distant procedures. For example, as these photos show, for the time being, you don’t come to choose from the selection of prizes, but rather the prize selection comes to you, as all guests must remain seated at all times! It’s just one of the many changes we’ve implemented to ensure we have a fun and safe Bingay. As always, we thank the support of our generous sponsors, including Lola Marleys, CBD Flowers, Grill’d Crown St Darlinghurst, The Bookshop Darlinghurst, DNA Magazine, Raw Anthony Nader, Love Pets Photography and Hero Huggers. And of course, we thank you, the punters, for welcoming us back into your social calendars! With your generous support, you help us raise around $1800 for ACON! A fabulous result! Thank you! See you at our next events: Halloween Bingay on 22 October and Bingay Spring Carnival on 12 November! Photography for Bingay by Deep Field Photography.
