We have already seen Christmas hampers with houses in Torrevieja, cars and even acorn-fed hams, but… what about a bingo that gives out household appliances, cruise trips or pianos? Bingo Loco is just that: a constant party with confetti flying through the air. On June 28th it lands for the first time in Madrid (at Sala Mon, to be precise) and there is nothing left: there are only a few days left and tickets are flying. If you miss it, don’t let it be because we didn’t warn you. Run, knave.
What is Bingo Loco?
It’s not bingo, it’s not a rave. .. it’s controlled chaos. Cards in hand, confetti cannons, nineties anthems blaring, ballroom scene lip syncs and prizes that look like they came out of a pawn shop. Yes, we’re talking about things like a cruise, a microwave or a vintage TV. And all this, with comedians acting as masters of ceremonies and throwing questions that not even in Saber y Ganar.
We’ll tell you how it works, because once you’re there, everything happens very fast: you get a card included with your ticket, Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 (for example) starts playing, there’s a guy dressed as a unicorn walking around, people conga dancing on the dance floor, and suddenly, someone wins… a lawn mower. That’s what Bingo Loco is all about: not knowing what the hell is going to happen, or what you’re going to take home.
Why go to Bingo Loco? Because it’s a different plan, and that’s the fun of it. Because it’s a place where you can go wild and make a fool of yourself with total freedom. Because it doesn’t matter if you are 22 or 107 years old: here there are no dress codes or expectations. And because sometimes Madrid needs uninhibited plans to remember that we are also here to have a good time and that is the whole point.
The important thing: when, where, how much
On June 28, from 18:30 to 23:00, Sala MON (Calle de Hilarión Eslava, 36) will become the epicenter of 270 minutes of collective madness. The ticket includes a card to play and starts at 23€, so you better not wait too long to get your hands on it.
