Did You Know?

Overview

Charlotte Funny Bus is an award‑winning comedy city tour that showcases the Queen City’s landmarks, neighborhoods, and local culture through the lens of professional comedians instead of traditional tour guides. Over 90 minutes, you’ll cruise past key sights while your guide delivers club‑style jokes, fun facts, and interactive bits that keep the whole bus laughing from start to finish.

The tour is adult‑oriented, with humor similar to what you’d hear in a comedy club, and guests are invited to bring their own beer or wine on board for a bar‑on‑wheels vibe.

Departing from Uptown within walking distance of many hotels, the experience includes two hours of free parking at The Market at 7th Street with validation from a vendor, making it easy for both locals and visitors to join.

Charlotte Funny Bus has been running since 2015, and has been recognized by outlets like Time MONEY Magazine and Charlotte Magazine as one of the city’s must‑do attractions.
