Do you fancy yourself a bit of a bogan? Do you love a VB? Proudly sport a mullet? Do you bear a Southern Cross tattoo and know all the words to the Cold Chisel discography? Then we’ve got the perfect job for you.
A job ad recently posted by The Gelo Company, who run Bogan Bingo at Perth pub and venue Rosie O’Grady’s, is looking for “applicants who possess the qualities to be a professional bogan”. No, really. This is legit.
You can check out the full posting over on Seek, but before you go applying for a laugh, you should know there’s some fairly strict key selection criteria and you’ll need a pretty impressive resume in order to be considered.
“The applicant must have at least five years prior bogan experience or equivalent demonstrated,” the ad, which was recently picked up by the Sydney Morning Herald, reads. You’ll also need to be able to count to 90 and play a mean air guitar.
Auditions to be the next bogan of Bogan Bingo at Rosie O’Grady’s will take place 28th April at the venue, which is located at 5 James St, Northbridge. They start at 6pm, but we suspect showing up on time can only hurt your chances.
“The mining boom may be drawing to a close in Western Australia but there are still job openings for those who love rock (and roll),” a media release from The Gelo Company read.
“The team is looking for outgoing larrikins who are willing to strut their stuff on stage in front of major crowds. Like, not as big as Acca Dacca, but huge for a comedy show.”
If you manage to get the job, your average workday will look like this: “One Bingo caller calls out the numbers and his budding DJ plays songs from the 80’s and 90’s that rhyme with those numbers.”
