On **Sunday, July 3**, **Dabbers Social Bingo** finished its months-long hunt and crowned Brighton-based drag queen **Crudi Dench** their **Next Top Bingo Caller 2022**. Crudi won over the crowds by bringing a unique breath of fresh air and pure comedy to the role of bingo caller. Excitement, sass and entertainment is now on the menu!

Set in the heart of **Houndsditch**, Dabbers is where the ‘cool’ bingo kids go, and Crudi knows exactly how to entertain them.

Crudi is the drag persona of **Matt Stallworthy**. Originally from Liverpool, Matt started drag in York while at university. “Crudi’s vibe has definitely developed from the northern women that I was surrounded by growing up in Liverpool and met while in York”. While in York, he helped set up **Haus of Dench**, a group of drag performers creating spaces for LGBTQ+ creatives to showcase their talents, including the cult cabaret / club night **Lip Sync Lollapalooza**.

Performing as Crudi has led to many wonderful and peculiar experiences –from working with the **Cheeky Girls** and *RuPaul’s Drag Race* winner **Sasha Velour**, to performing on top of the **Matterhorn** in Switzerland and being embroiled in a national TV scandal…

When not on stage, Matt works as a University Event Coordinator during the day, swapping wigs and heels for logistics and risk assessments. “Managing crowds at open days is definitely a different skill set from managing crowds at cabaret bars and comedy clubs! But with both I hope to leave guests happy and smiling”.

Matt has recently moved to Brighton following the tail end of the pandemic and has just finished a run of his show *Drag Queens vs. Zombies* during the **Brighton Fringe**. “Brighton is a great city for performing in and I’m very excited to be bringing my distinctively Northern flavour of drag to the South coast”.
