MEET YOUR HOSTS

The Dynamic Duo

Amanda & Joe

The FIRST BANDINGO® host we ever hired is our long-time friend Amanda becaused she loved playing so much.  She then roped Joe in it and he is your game show host sometimes, somewhere.  Joe loves to frequent Kava bars and go for a run when he isn't doing top-secret stuff. His wife Amanda is the bomb and they are a fun pair when hosting together, known as the Dynamic Duo.

Jason

We don't have a picture of our good friend Jason, who runs his own trivia outfit called Electric Trivia and is a really fun BANDINGO host WHEN HE ISN'T SAVING civilians from danger. We aren't sure if he wants us to reveal what his real job is.  Feel free to ask him yourself...if you can find him.  He seems to have disappeared. Dude is so funny, and smart! That's a dangerous combo.

DJB

DJ B hosts BANDINGO® in Valrico at Raccoon’s Bar and Grill on Mondays, and JF Kicks Restaurant and Patio Bar on Wednesdays.  Both with a 7pm  DABTIME.

He is a professional wedding and party DJ since way back when, and he really enjoys getting the crowd engaged and having fun.  The dude is solid people. Might as well call him Mr. Old School!

DJ JOHN

Surprisingly, DJ John and Emcee Johnny G, both around the same age, were born and raised in St Pete, and never knew each other growing up, but definitely crossed paths in the late 80s and early 90s at some "Keggers" in the Burg. DJ John Diorio has been rocking the people of Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco Counties for years. A  wedding and event DJ, he has been busy with his craft and is availble for BOOKINGS IN THE INVERNESS, FL and SURROUNDING AREAS.

JOHNNY G

His motto is Creative Energy. Self-proclaimed the most unique and engaging entertainer of our time, Johnny is proof that ADHD is a gift! The creator of the Original BANDINGO Music Bingo is aloof and unpredictable yet he is highly aware of all that is going on around him. Although he personally trained all the HOSTS in the ways of "the walk", There is no Emcee quite like the OG.

 

Catch him if you can on Mondays at CJ's Backstage (330p) in St Pete, on Tuesdays at Whiskey Wings Oldsmar(7p), and on Wednesdays at Twisted Tiki in St Pete Beach (7p).

Join him spinnin' the stacks of wax at Paddywagon's Dunedin every other Tuesday(7pm).

tony & martina

A man with a whimsical mix of top-shelf grooviness and  inspiring theatrical genes, by day Tony works hard to not go postal, and at night he works his handiness in heading you to Happyland, taking you on a three-hour Tuesday tour of Our Bar(7pm) and slicing Stromboli’s on Thursdays at Category 36 TAPHOUSE & Kitchen(630pm). His wife Martina is amazing, funny, and the best thing to ever happen to him*

*This has all been proven to be true.
