Laugh-out-loud evenings, diverse comedians, and vibrant atmosphere
About the name - Back of the Bus Nae Mair
Back of the Bus Nae Mair.
Why is it called this, I hear you asking? It’s a nod to Rosa Parks and the Birmingham Bus Boycott here in the UK. And, well, it’s here in Glasgow so a wee bit of Glaswegian patter is needed in the title too. The nights will prioritise and platform comedians from diverse backgrounds. Each month there will be open mic spots, some very experienced comics, some guests, and of course, a headliner.
Tia Boyd
Headliner
Tia is a Glasgow-based queer performer and artist blending comedy, storytelling, and poetry — all delivered with raw ADHD energy that leaves you thrilled… and a little unsettled.
Vanessa Correia
