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.

It is a free social night, but you still need a ticket. The organisers say the RSVP ticket now carries a charge, advertised as $0.50 and refundable when you arrive, to stop people reserving places and not showing up. Their checkout page showed a different total when we looked, so treat the figure as an indication confirmed at checkout. 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.
