McGRATHPR.com – Come one, come all for a musical spin on the beloved game of bingo, with To the Moon and Back’s “Drag Singo” benefit fundraiser, at Hotel 1620 in Plymouth, MA for Drag Bingo, on Friday, October 13, 6 to 10 pm, at Hotel 1620, 180 Water Street, Plymouth. All proceeds benefit the Plymouth-based nonprofit, which provides statewide support to children born opiate-dependent with neonatal abstinence syndrome, and their families.
In “Drag Singo,” South Shore Queenz drag artists Genesis, Khloe Glamoure, and Bianca Knight are the nights’ entertainment. These queens have been performing together for years throughout New England, even winning pageants along the way! They serve glamour, humor, and a whole lotta sass, making for a fun and entertaining evening out. DJ Roger Leary lends his sound skills to ramp up the exciting music.
In “Drag Singo,” players receive a bingo card featuring popular song titles. The drag artist hosts spur DJ Roger to play random song clips of the “recognizable parts” of each tune. Players are encouraged to sing along, identify and match song titles on their cards, play to win cash!
