Posted by By QBurgh staff writer December 7, 2024 1 Min Read

Sit down, shut up, and play bingo!

Rick Allison has been calling the monthly OUTrageous Bingo for 27 years, which raises money for the Shepherd Wellness Community and the Pittsburgh Equality Center. Rick takes us through the origins of this LGBTQ Pittsburgh institution beginning on December 6, 1997, the origins of the opening bingo pledge, the unique games played, and the guest bingo callers throughout the years.

OUTrageous Bingo is a monthly drag queen bingo run completely by community volunteers that draws crowds from far and wide.

The next OUTrageous Bingo is Saturday, December 14, at Rodef Shalom at 7:30 PM. Tickets at outrageousbingopgh.org

Other upcoming events:

  • Saturday, December 7: Handmade Arcade Holiday Market at David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Stop by the QBurgh-sponsored Happy Lil Canvases booth #250. handmadearcade.org
  • Saturday, December 14: OUTrageous Bingo at Rodef Shalom at 7:30 PM
  • Sunday, December 15: Queer Craft Market Holiday Bazaar at the Union Project from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM instagram.com/queercraftmarket

Today feels heavy. The road ahead feels daunting. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that our power is immeasurable when we stand together. We have faced hatred, violence, and erasure before. Each time, we’ve risen—stronger, louder, and more unapologetically ourselves. A Trump presidency may bring new challenges, but it’s no match for the strength of a united, intersectional, and relentless queer movement. More link in bio.
