If you weren’t at BU Central on Friday night, you were missing out.
BU Central held its annual Drag Bingo night from 9-11 p.m., and it was two hours of absolute hilarity. Around 100 BU students showed up to play bingo hosted by local drag queen Katya Zamolodchikova, whose Twitter account boasts that she is “balls deep in the now.”
Students played ten games of bingo, and prizes ranged from Barnes & Noble gift cards to season two of RuPaul’s Drag Race on DVD to the grand prize, a Nook.
Of course, with Zamolodchikova calling the games, each round was more hilarious than the next.
To start things off, Zamolodchikova told the crowd that she was “just your average Russian, transvestite, bisexual hooker with nothing to lose.” In between calling numbers, she kept a running commentary about her sexual adventures and offered advice to students about their own sex lives, telling them to experiment with different noises while in the bedroom. She also kept things exciting by substituting different words for “bingo”; students laughed as winners called out “penis,” “vagina,” and even “Chlamydia.”
The best part of the night, however, was when Zamolodchikova did drag numbers. She finished the first game with an extravagant performance of Wendy Ho’s “F*ck Me (When You Can),” which drew many cheers and laughs. For her second song, Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” she gave lap dances to multiple unsuspecting audience members.
Afterwards, she stepped back on stage with a flip of her hair and quipped, “Sorry, I didn’t warn you it was going to get sexual.”
COM grad student Mengya Tian was one of the audience members who received a lap dance. When she preceded to win the next round of bingo, Zamolodchikova exclaimed, “Oh my god, I just rode you like a horse!”
Afterwards, Tian said that she’d had no idea she was going to win or get danced on. Giggling, she said, “Today is my day!”
Zamolodchikova’s third song, however, was the performance that drew the most laughs. Dancing to a remix of Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop,” she strutted around the tables and gave over-the-top lap dances to even more students.
SED sophomore Rodrigo Mendoza was one of the students who received one of Zamolodchikova’s final lap dances. Laughing, he said, “It was a good time.”
Still laughing, he added, “Her butt was so cushy!”
