Comedy Bingo

Comedy Bingo is a one-of-a-kind stand-up show featuring games, prizes, comedy, and, of course, BINGO! The show features two games happening simultaneously: a traditional bingo game played between comedians’ sets, and a signature Comedy Bingo game where audience members receive cards filled with stand-up comedy stereotypes. As comics incorporate those moments into their performances, you mark your card for a chance to win prizes from local businesses.
