Jonathan Bailey Crashes Sydney’s Wicked-Themed ‘Bingay,’ Calls Numbers at Surry Hills Fundraiser

The cameo doubled as grassroots promotion tied to a local fundraiser supporting ACON.

Overview

  • On Nov. 26, the Wicked: For Good star made an unannounced stop at The Beresford Hotel’s monthly Bingay in Surry Hills.
  • He stepped onstage to help pull numbers as an impromptu caller before briefly mingling with attendees.
  • The Wicked-themed night raises money for the HIV/AIDS organization ACON and was hosted by Charisma Belle with Naomi Palmer in Glinda and Elphaba looks.
  • Belle later told QNews that Bailey was “genuinely sweet and engaging,” noting most famous guests usually only play along.
  • The visit continues his recent Sydney drop-ins, including a surprise IMAX screening appearance and a TikTok Awards turn presenting the TikTok For Good Award.
