Music bingo unites the music lovers and trivia buffs in one fun event, and our bingo hosts know how to keep the crowd entertained with tricky cards and amazing playlists. Check out this list of our crowd favorites!

via GIPHY


It is hard to pick our favorite music bingo playlist because they are all so much fun, but these nineteen bingo games seem to be a sure bet with the crowds. Go ahead, ask one of our music bingo hosts or our loyal game players! They'll tell you these games make for the best music bingo shows anywhere!

Picture

For The Older Crowd

  • Life's A Beach: Those California girls down in Margaritaville drinking the tequila with a lime in a coconut, am I right? Although not everything in this category is from way back when, it has enough golden oldies to keep the retired crew digging the vibe with artists like The Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffet, and Don Henley on the list.
  • Golden Oldies: Speaking of golden oldies...yep, we've got a whole list dedicated to the classics. Bring on the classic entertainers like Elvis, Otis Redding, and good ol' Patsy Cline.
  • The 70's: A tumultuous decade that inspired artists to create some timeless tunes. This playlist includes songs from Joni Mitchell, Queen, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
  • The Beatles: A band so iconic they get a category unto themselves. No one will be able to resist singing along when you play the Fab Four's classic hits like Yellow Submarine, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Blackbird.
Picture

Family Friendly Shows

  • Movie Soundtracks: These movie tunes span the decades which makes this the perfect game to play with a family crowd. Everyone knows which movie My Heart Will Go On comes from!
  • Disney: Got a lot of kiddos in the crowd? We've got a playlist for that too! Get the room excited when you hand out bingo cards full of Disney classics like Circle of Life, Under the Sea, and yes, even Let it Go!
  • TV Shows: Theme songs can be awesome (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), catchy (Scooby Doo), or down right iconic (Game of Thrones), but no matter the category, this game is perfect for the family team. It has a little something for each age group!
  • X-mas: Hey, everyone loves a good Christmas carol even in July. A holiday themed music bingo game with all your favorite tunes sang by all your favorite artists.
Picture

The Mixed Bag

  • Food Fight: At a new venue and you aren't sure about the vibe yet? Try a mixed, theme game! Different songs from different periods and genres, but they all have food in common! From a classic like Blueberry Hill to some gangsta rap by Snoop Dogg, everyone can play along.
  • Girls vs Boys: We got songs about girls like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and we got songs about boys like Boyz-n-the-Hood. Who will reign supreme?
  • Out of This World: Space the final frontier...of music bingo! We've got Space Cowboys, Star Wars, and Drops of Jupiter up in this theme. Far out, man.
  • One Hit Wonders: A classic music trivia category! Everyone knows these mega-hits, but do they know who sang them? Here's a freebie Tainted Love was a hit by a band called Soft Cell. You're welcome.
Picture

A Decade of Hits

  • And Then There Was Hair: Who doesn't love an old-fashioned rock ballad? The hair bands ruled the 80's, and we have an entire bingo card dedicated to those luscious locks. Poison, KISS, and Guns-n-Roses all have a square here.
  • Oh...the 90's: Was grunge the death of hair? The eternal debate! We aren't here to decide it though, we are just here to deliver these classic 90's hits from artists like Gin Blossoms, Beck, and No Doubt!
  • 2009 Billboard: Kanye's gonna let you finish, but first...here are the hits of the 09's! We've got Gaga, we've got Swift, and oh yes, we've got the man himself!
Picture

The Tough Stuff

  • Nicknames: Do you know the King of Pop? How about the Queen of Soul? Who is known as The Boss? This game isn't for the faint of heart! It can be a tough round, but the trivia fans will eat it up.
  • Countries: How many people know where their favorite artist hails from? This card names the country, you need to figure out the artist and where they come from. If we play Blissing Me, for instance, the player has to know the artist is Bjork AND know that she comes from Iceland. Not so easy is it?
  • Antonyms: Your clever players will love this one! The card may say something like "Stop You Down" which is the correct clue for Rolling Stones' Start Me Up! Can you figure them all out?
  • Anagrams: This is hands down our hardest game, and it is only recommended for your serious players as casual ones tend to get a bit frustrated. The answers are jumbled on the card into different words like Pearl Jam turns into Maple Jar. Whew. How'd we come up with this one?

There you have it folks! A collection of our music bingo crowd favorites in a tidy list just for you. Now to pick which game to play...

The Secret Life of a Trivia Host: Dustin Ramsbottom

4/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Ever wondered how a trivia host gets started? I mean, when you think about it, you probably didn’t even know it was a career option back when you were deciding what you wanted to be when you grew up, did you? The entertainment industry often feels like this mysterious world that other people live in, but not like something normal everyday people can do. Right?

Here to shed a little light on all of that mystery is a Fat City Entertainment host, Dustin Ramsbottom. Journey into the world of a trivia hosting stand-up comedian with Dustin!


Can you tell us a little bit about your background?

I am originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, but I have been doing stand-up since I first took the John Candy Stage in the basement of the Second City Training Center in Toronto, Ontario in 2011. My classmates and I shot a pilot for a web series back then called Back 2 Reality about a group of imaginative movie geeks who let the movies take over their lives. It... wasn't very good. But we learned a lot!

What initially drew you to the entertainment industry?

As soon as I was of age (almost) to visit the local bars, and live entertainment venues in Calgary, I was fascinated by all entertainers who held a microphone, and could sway the mood of the entire venue with a whip of words, and sometimes just shouting "Can I get a 'Hell Yeah'?!" The crowd always went wild..

What skills do you think are most important to being a good trivia host?

Positivity, and sense of humour (notice the Canadian U?) Being able to read the room, and adjust your style accordingly has been the greatest skill I've ever learned in any aspect of my life. There are just so many times it has helped me out. Sometimes in ways you would never expect.

What is the craziest thing that has ever happened at a hosting gig?

I like when we find passive entertainers hidden within our crowd. We always try to turn the spotlight back on the audience, and you will never know how they will surprise you. Imagine a Catwalk in front of you. Now what's that in the distance? Is that Right Said Fred coming around the corner? *I'm Too Sexy pumps on the stereo. 5000 bonus points for the best runway model. Go!

What advice do you have for someone just starting out or even just considering hosting as an option?

Hang out at a Fat City show and let us know you are interested in joining our team. Or even just tell us you are a performer and have your own independent shows. That's great too. Support live entertainment wherever, whenever. Also, practice your goofy radio voice as much as possible.

Tell us one random fact about you.

I have one tattoo. It says "Relax" (not a Frankie Goes To Hollywood reference, just a word I never want to forget.) I'm planning another tattoo that says "Focus". I guess I am growing up. Do you have a good artist to recommend?
​

Where can we see you in action?
​

I will be competing in a stand-up competition at The Apostrophe Lounge in Charlotte on May 19th. Loud laughers welcome.

That definitely sounds like something worth checking out! If you are interested in getting to know Dustin a little better, follow him on Twitter!
