Dabbers Social Bingo finally finished its three-month-long hunt and crowned London-based comedian, Amy Webber, their Next Top Bingo Caller 2023. 

Playing to a sold-out crowd, Amy won over her spectators by bringing her unique musical-comedy act to the fore, in a performance which includes an element of comedic-opera singing – a talent that mixes surprisingly well into the bingo-calling mix,

“I am absolutely elated. I’m flattered that the audience voted me as the winner. All the finalists were unique and amazing performers, and I still can’t believe it was me who won. I’ll be putting the money towards performing at Edinburgh Fringe this August. It’s my first time going up and taking my own show so I’m pretty nervous about it - having this financial help is a fantastic and unexpected windfall“  Dabbers Next Top Caller 2023 Winner Amy Webber

Hosted by BBC New Comedy Award finalist, Sikisa Bostwick, the Dabbers Next Top Bingo Caller 2023 finalist judging panel was made up of entertainment industry professionals including: Kate Daughton, Ex Head of Comedy at the BBC and Co-Founder of Boffola Pictures; Miles Baron, Chief Executive of Bingo Association, and a comedian who knows all about winning, Hannah Byczkowskim (winner of the Reality TV competition ‘ The Traitors’ earlier this year).

Having secured the most audience votes on July 2nd; Amy has now officially been named as Dabbers Next Top Bingo Caller and alongside her new title, she wins a £1000 courtesy of sponsors, Malibu – and a luxurious hotel stay - plus a 12-month contract with Dabbers Social Bingo. And of course, she will get the opportunity to reinvent, transform and revamp the sought-after position of Bingo Caller.

Amy studied opera at University, and it was here that she realised she could combine her love of this classic performance style with more modern pop music and with making people laugh. So, at 27 she merged her two passions to create her musical comedy act.

When Amy Webber isn’t performing on stage she’s using her musical talents to teach children through her education songs, as a singing teacher. 

Making the most of her teaching skills, one of Amy’s favourite parts the world of bingo is the opportunity to “be in charge of organised chaos” that modern day bingo calling brings.

And she says her experience working with children of a young age is not dissimilar to the skill set needed to command a bingo game at Dabbers.
