Happy Valley Pride’s big FREE launch night is back!
The Big Bingo show is riotous and gloriously funny, replete with bad sing-alongs, spontaneous dance routines and impromptu rants. Audiences have been left aching in laughter yet desperate for more.
Glamorous bearded drag lady Timberlina and diminutive, Dutch theatrical DJ Auntie Maureen invite you to a side-splitting, seamlessly shambolic entertainment that will leave you feeling fantastically fabulous beyond belief.
Its infectious silliness, warmth and bona fide hilarity have led to forays in world class institutions and Festivals such as South Bank Centre, Wales Millennium Centre, Barbican, Latitude and Camp Bestival.
if you would like a table please arrive early, we will also be supplying clip-boards!
This crazy cult show also played every Monday night at London’s celebrated Royal Vauxhall Tavern for over 15 years.

Queer slapstick performance artist Tim Redfern aka Timberlina has been gracing creative and heritage platforms for over two decades appearing at Tate Museums, the V&A and Latitude, Tim also hosted Mother’s Ruin in Manchester.
DJ and music curator Auntie Maureen has worked dancefloors nationwide, her encyclopaedic LGBTQIA+ and femme-forward knowledge has led to being showcased at events such as Tate Britain’s Queer Britannia and Wilderness.
The night will also feature an opening set from Hebden’s own drag star Generika!
