Dick O'Day's Big, Lovely Bingo is an interactive, fast paced reality game show that can be tailored for audiences young and old. It combines the best of variety and talk shows, along with a liberal dose of kitsch. Curiosity and outrageousness are perfect bedmates when host Dick O’Day takes to the stage and soon has audience members vying for the fabulously hideous prizes amidst the zany madness. Throughout the show O’Day has no compunction about getting into the private lives (and purses) of his bingo players, trying to make love connections for his solo guests, or reading selections from his own eclectic “liberry” (The Poems Of Ally Sheedy and On Tour With Donny And Marie are particular audience favorites). He joins game participants in performing impromptu karaoke numbers, aerobicizing to a little Jane Fonda workout, or creating one of his renowned "instant make-overs." No cell phone is safe in his presence. And always expect a musical number or two. But O’Day’s main objective is to keep the bingo game going until it’s time to award more of the kitschiest prizes this side of a trailer park jamboree. From Cher dolls and New Kids On The Block jigsaw puzzles to a horrible candy called Milk Chews, hand made pot holders to phony signed Amy Grant glossies, DICK O’DAY’S BIG, LOVELY BINGO offers what surly bingo prize-meister and board watcher Scottie, O’Day’s assistant, calls “more junk than they got at my Uncle Eldon’s dump.” But hands off Scottie’s baby food grinder. That’s just for display. For corporate clients, product intros, and private events, the prizes can be scaled up -- or down even lower! As a live theatrical “experience,” DICK O’DAY’S BIG, LOVELY BINGO drew 18-34 year olds in droves during its four year run at Chicago’s cutting-edge Annoyance Theater and a further six month run at the Improv Olympic. It's also the perfect show for corporate and private parties and has played before audiences of all ages and bingo expertise levels!
