FNO Cocoa's Karaoke and Game Night

A free karaoke and games night at Friends Night Out's Aurora barn on Friday 9 October 2026, 8pm to midnight — hosted by Miss Cocoa, who the organisers say is taking over the TSIN Barn for the evening after her first event went down well.

The first half is exactly what it says: grab the microphone, and bring a board game if you want something to do between sets. The organisers list Yahtzee, Uno, Scrabble, Connect Four, trivia and a classic Wii.

The second half is where it turns into an FNO night. The dress is fall casual until around 10:30pm, then lingerie — in the organisers' phrasing, sing in your panties. The upstairs WildRumpus Room is open to play or watch, by wristband bought on the night as a cash donation towards the cost of the barn.

Admission downstairs is free, but you still need a ticket. The organisers are firm about this: you must obtain a free ticket, which generates a confirmation number and an email, and security checks you in using that number — so complete the whole checkout and check your spam folder. No amount is published for the upstairs wristband.

Because the night is free the organisers are not laying on their usual food. Instead it is a community potluck — bring a dish to share — and it is BYOB, with mixers provided.

The address is not public. The organisers publish the town and ZIP code only — Aurora, IL 60506.
