PERK UP YOUR WEEKEND WITH LE BINGO!

Who knew Bingo could be so much kooky fun? Every Saturday, Le Poisson Rouge welcomes NYC's favorite wisecracking Bingo lady LINDA SIMPSON —as she gives away a treasure trove of prizes, from discount-store delights to a cash jackpot!

As players compete (in the club’s cozy Gallery Bar), they can enjoy a full bar and food menu, including Happy Hour prices from 6:30–7:30pm and drink specials determined by spinning the “Wheel of Chance.” (Don’t worry if you get tipsy—Bingo is the world’s easiest game!)

Adding to the fun are all sorts of special games (Good Neighbor, speed rounds, etc.) and a dazzling array of colorful spokesmodels, such as feisty drag starlet Violet Temper and burlesque babe Lil’ Miss Lixx.

Bring along your friends, relatives, your special someone or just come alone—Everyone’s got a chance to win at this rollicking and fun-filled affair! (Late-comers welcome, but the earlier you arrive the more chances you have of winning!)

FREE Admission! Bingo cards are $2 each.

Comedian and world-renowned entertainer MURRAY HILL is a relentless retro shtick slinger, buster of audience chops and freewheeling ad-libber. The New York Times anointed Murray “the patriarch of downtown performance.” He recently performed with Dita Von Teese for sold-out engagements in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Seattle. He can be seen on television this year, playing himself, on STARZ "Gravity" Season 1 and HBO's "Bored to Death" Season 2 which airs September 2010. He's performed his comedy at top showrooms like Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Gotham Comedy Club, Comix, LA’s Billy Wilder Theater, and headlined his own show at Caroline’s on Broadway. Murray has toured with Le Tigre, hosted The Gossip concerts, and introduced the Beastie Boys, Antony and The Johnsons, to name a few. He’s hosted sold-out burlesque shows at the Bloomsbury Ballroom (London), MTV Italia’s opening party for the Venice Film Festival, NY International Burlesque Festival, Just For Laughs (Montreal) directed by Thierry Mugler and co-starred in Immodesty Blaize's show at London’s Arts Theatre in the West End. He's produced and starred in several theatrical productions: The Murray Hill Show, A Murray Little Christmas, and This is Burlesque. He’s been included in “Best of New York” lists in the Village Voice, Paper, and New York Magazine; inducted into Paper’s Nightlife Hall of Fame; and selected as OUT magazine’s Top 100 influential performers. He enjoys cheeseburgers, Swedish Fish, showbiz biographies, showgirls, and he put the "yes" in polyester. He's currently working on his debut Off-Broadway one-man show to debut in 2011.
