Gay Bingo comes to the ICA

Jonny Woo blows the mike

See what happened when anarchic and iconic Gay Bingo, featuring performance legend Jonny Woo, descended on the ICA.

There was more than a full house on Saturday 12 July when the anarchic and iconic Gay Bingo descended on the ICA for the first time. Performance legend Jonny Woo brought a special artistic twist to proceedings and straddled both bars with consummate ease. Divided into two Ibizan beeches, the upstairs bar became the Bora Bora elite whilst downstairs the punters had to slum it in San Antonio. Ma Butcher was on the number cruncher, DJ Sizzle on the decks and the projections were provided by Prickimage. It was certainly a night no-one present will forget: GAY BINGO returns to the ICA on Saturday 25 October - Pablo Picasso's birthday!
