Pay What You Want On Bob's Blundabus
When is venue not a venue? When it’s a double decker bus! That’s right; one of the oddest successes of last year’s Vodafone Comedy Carnival is back. A big red converted ex-London bus called Bob’s BlundaBus. It’s also a 45 seat venue which will host a range of great shows in Eyre Square throughout the Vodafone Comedy Carnival.
The BlundaBus itself, is an award-winning pop-up Comedy Theatre & Bar on a converted double-decker Bus, It’s even got a piano.
Bob Slayer is a multi-award winning comedian, promoter and storyteller. A former jockey and band manager. a true original, a gloriously crazy and funny person but most of all he is a genuinely alternative comedian. He'll be joined by Phill Jupitus and some legends of the Róisín Dubh Comedy Clubh, performing a host of zany shows including late night lock-ins, kids comedy and a bloody mass!
If you’re going to a gig in the Spiegeltent or anywhere in town, get in early to soak up the atmosphere in the comedy village right beside the fountain. With extra outdoor shows and the craic in Eyre Square, you cannot miss this bus!
HOW DO I GET ON THE BUS?
All shows are ‘pay what you want’. This means you can go in for free and tip your performer on the way out. It will be possible and probably advisable, to reserve tickets at the box office to guarantee your seat on this most unusual of venues.
