Political events usually have the same kind rhythm.

It isn't normally the type you want to dance to.

A man in a suit, and it is normally a man, steps out on a stage in an overly bright room and says something, usually something dull, into a tiny, broken soundsystem.

Not Jeremy Corbyn .

Tonight in Liverpool delegates who attended Labour North West's Scouse Night were treated to what has to be a political first.

The leader of opposition, after calling a game of bingo, signed a life size cardboard cut-out of himself while a rapturous crowd chanted 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn'.

When he left the stage two male dancers named Horny Heidi and Slutty Susie, wearing chequed dresses and pig tails, stripped off to the waist.

Surely now we have reached Peak Corbyn.

Well most political events don't happen at Bongo's Bingo.

The team, who run the event across the UK but founded it in Liverpool, specialise in taking the normally sedate game and turning it into quite a party.

Music booms from speakers as confetti pours from the ceiling on gyrating guests, hunting lines on their beer stained cards.

The prizes? Well for the first game tonight the first line won you a spacehopper.

Two lines? A bottle of spiced rum.

A full house? Well that is where the life size cut out of the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition comes in.

Before the Labour Leader even took to the stage a man with a crutch was dancing on stage to Right Said Fred's 1992 classic I'm Too Sexy.

All this in front of hundreds of people - including Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson, and Metro Mayors Steve Rotherham and Andy Burnham.

His prize - a small (unsigned) cut out of Jeremy to talk home.

But soon the main event was on the horizon.

Out walked Jeremy Corbyn to the song which crowds have sang at him in football stadiums and arena concerts.

"Oh Jeremy Corbyn, oh Jeremy Corbyn," they boomed.

And yes - he did make a fairly conventional speech.

After being booed for being an Arsenal fan, he told the crowd that Labour was itching to fight a general election.

"We're are ready for it, I'm ready for it, you are ready for it and we are going to win."

The crowd cheered - resting their legs from dancing on the benches and tables just moments before.

The Islington North MP even managed to talk about rail investment in the north.

"It takes two hours to get to Liverpool Lime Street from London, and two hours to get from London to Hull - so why does it take three hours to get from Liverpool to Hull?

"We need rail investment in the North"

But Mr Corbyn can read a room.

"Anyway I've been told not to go on for too long."

The 69-year-old Jeremy explained to the night's host, Bongo, that he did know how to call a game of bingo.

He called three numbers - 45 ("That's my age"), 36 and 75.

Then before leaving the stage he signed his lifesize cardboard likeness.

The crowd went wild.

That's when the Slutty Susie and Horny Heidi came on and stripped off to the waist - as their plastic pigtails bounced off their hairy chests.

Jeremy Corbyn slipped off into the night - he had overlit rooms across Labour's Liverpool conference to speak at.

But not even his most loyal fans inside thought about leaving.

Inside Bongo's Bingo the party was just getting started.
