Hamburger Mary's is BACK! And Ghostlight is excited to be part of its Wednesday’ night HamBingo event in October to benefit our fall production of Angry Fags.

Hamburger Mary's Chicago is a lively burger bar and drag show destination, now in the heart of Edgewater, serving up gourmet burgers, playful appetizers, and unforgettable performances. Known for its vibrant LGBTQ+ community vibe, the restaurant features nightly drag events, themed brunches, and a glampy atmosphere full of personality.

HamBINGO is a weekly charity event held in the dining room at Hamburger Mary’s at 7 p.m. every Wednesday, hosted by one of their fabulous drag queens! In addition to traditional BINGO games, they throw in a few audience-participation games to keep things fun!

Join us on Wednesday, October 21 for some fabulous prizes. The Bingo will be as vicious as the Queens who host it!
