Drag Me to BINGO

ENSEMBLE ARTS PHILLY PRESENTS 
DRAG ME TO BINGO,
A NIGHT OF DRAG, DANCE, AND BINGO 
AT THE KIMMEL CENTER, 
FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 2026 

An Evening Hosted by RuPaul's Drag Race favorites
Mrs. Kasha Davis and Ariel Versace

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (May 18, 2026) – Ensemble Arts Philly presents Drag Me to Bingo, a night of bingo, drag performance, and high-energy entertainment, at the Perelman Theater inside the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. Hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race favorites Mrs. Kasha Davis (a Scranton, PA, native) and Ariel Versace (a New Jersey native), this no-holds-barred event blends drag, dance, comedy, and audience participation into a nonstop 90-minute party with no intermission and no time to catch your breath. The perfect way to kick off Pride Month!

This is not a polite night of quiet bingo cards. Drag Me to Bingo features five games of bingo with fabulous prizes, outrageous interactive games that pull audience members right onto the stage, and a cast of high-energy male hype dancers who keep the heat turned all the way up. Expect big personalities, big laughs, and plenty of moments that get the entire room on its feet and dancing.

Designed for adventurous audiences of all kinds, from devoted drag fans to first-timers looking for a wildly fun night out, Drag Me to Bingo is joyful, inclusive, and proudly over the top. Equal parts game night, dance party, and drag spectacular, it’s the kind of live experience people talk about long after the last number is called.

“As a presenter serving more than a million guests each year across varied artistic genres and special events, Ensemble Arts Philly is proud to present bold, joyful experiences that bring people together in unexpected ways,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations. “Drag Me to Bingo ensures everyone becomes part of the show.”
