Book NowAbout the show
Susan Popadopolas – Bonkers Bingo is a character comedy show at Theatre 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, created by Karen Philp. What starts as a bingo game rapidly transforms into a character comedy evening featuring jokes, playful roasting, improvised audience moments, and absurd monologues drawn from Susan's scandalous past. Susan's partner Brian — a mannequin — contributes to the unpredictable, anything-can-happen atmosphere. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
The bingo is just the opening move — before long Susan's outrageous oversharing, shameless flirting, and the presence of Brian the mannequin have taken over completely. A warmly chaotic 60-minute show for anyone who enjoys interactive character comedy.
