Comedy Caller Contest 2026 🎤

The UK’s biggest & funniest Bingo Calling Contest is back for Spring/Summer 2026!

Think you’ve got the balls to call the balls? 

We’re on the hunt for the nation’s most hilarious bingo host — someone who can turn a classic bingo game into a full-blown comedy spectacle.

The challenge?

Host a bingo game and make it funny. Really funny. You'll need to bring your own original flair to the mic — including writing your own hilarious bingo calls that keep the crowd laughing while the numbers roll.

THE PRIZE

A £1,500 cash prize, a 12-month hosting contract with the venue, and the chance to perform with the team at major UK festivals.

Whether you're a stand-up comic, character comedians, double acts, drag artist, cabaret star, MC, or full-throttle entertainer, we want to see you reinvent the bingo caller tradition with your own outrageous comedic twist.

Entries are now open.

So grab the mic, sharpen your punchlines, write those bingo calls, and show us how you’d call the balls.
