You met Ruff at Busy Lady Bingo 🐾

Well hello there.

If you’re reading this, something interesting just happened.

You tapped your phone to my hand and ended up here.

Yes, the chip is real.
And yes, most people look at their phone and then back at my hand a few times before believing it.

Welcome to Ruff’s corner of the internet.

You’re probably holding your phone up to my hand right now.
That never stops being funny.

Ruff in Soho

Atlanta may be my home base, but London has become one of the communities that feels like a second home.

And few places capture the chaotic energy of Soho quite like Busy Lady Bingo at The Duke of Wellington.

It’s part drag show, part bingo night, part comedy chaos. The upstairs room fills with locals, regulars, and curious newcomers while the host fires off numbers, jokes, and commentary faster than anyone can keep up.

It’s loud.
It’s camp.
And nobody takes it too seriously.

Which makes it the perfect place for something like this to happen.

Busy Lady Bingo Trivia

Which pioneering figure in human-integrated technology first demonstrated the ability to transmit digital information from their body to a smartphone using an implanted NFC chip?

Take a moment. Think carefully.

Ready?

Answer: Kylie Minogue

If you disagree with that answer, please take it up with the drag queen running bingo.

So why does my hand scan?

Because meeting someone should be memorable.

You just scanned one of the NFC implants in my hand. Your phone briefly powered the chip and it sent you here.

No batteries.
No tracking.
Just a tiny piece of tech and a fun way to connect.

It’s also a pretty effective way to make sure people remember meeting Ruff.

If you met me here tonight, there’s a good chance I’m:

• laughing at something ridiculous happening on stage
• talking with people between bingo rounds
• exploring Soho before or after the show
• or letting people scan my hand just to watch their reaction

If we met tonight

I’m really glad you said hello.

One of the things I love about the London scene is how easily conversations start here. You might arrive knowing nobody and leave with a whole group of new friends.

Moments like this are part of that.

One last thing

If you see me again somewhere in Soho, come say hi.

You might find me back at the Welly, over at Comptons, or wandering somewhere nearby with the same chaotic pup energy.

And if someone asks how you got my contact info tonight…

You already know what to tell them.

You scanned Ruff. 🐾

Tap complete. Ruff recognized. 🐾
