It's Timberlina's drag queen bingo and it will be held in the shower block at the Maitland Gaol festival.
Timberlina will host several games on each day in what will be her first time at the popular beer event.
"I'm super excited," Timberlina said.
"I've never done something like this before."

The much-loved Hunter drag queen saw a Facebook post on the Bitter and Twisted page asking for local entertainers to perform at the festival and put her hand straight up.
"I see the footage [from the event] every year," she said. "It's just something a bit different."
For those intrigued about what to expect from a Timberlina bingo show, her advice is to be ready for some fun and a lot of sass.
"It's over the top and naughty," she said. "And I'm very quick-witted so bring your A-game."
Maitland City Council events coordinator Beth Anastasiou said it was "really exciting" to have Timberlina on board.
"I think it is going to be really popular," she said.

"She will add a bit of colour and excitement."
Ms Anastasiou said as well as bingo, there will be plenty to see and do at the festival this year.
There will be VIP lunches, meet the brewer sessions, private cell block tickets, quirky roving performers, and of course, great music, tasty food and a diverse range of beer.
Ms Anastasiou said organisers will deliver what previous festival goers had asked for - including more shade, new activities and experiences and fantastic live music.
But Ms Anastasiou said they haven't strayed too far from what people love about the event, with all of the favourite brewers set to return.
There will be about 20 brewers with a range of different flavours to try and for those who aren't a fan of beer, there will also be wine and cider available.
The boutique beer festival, which is now in its 13th year, will be held on November 2 and 3. Tickets are still available for both days but are selling fast.
