Did You Know?

Overview

The Drag Queen Funny Bus Tour is a themed version of the award‑winning Charlotte Funny Bus: a 90‑minute ride through Uptown, NoDa and the neighborhoods in between, hosted by a drag performer instead of a stand‑up comedian.


The vibe is a comedy club on wheels with more sparkle. Expect R‑rated jokes, drag banter, storytelling and a lot of audience interaction, in a room that celebrates love, inclusivity and over‑the‑top fun. Guests bring their own beer and wine and see the city in a way that feels more like a drag show than a bus tour.

This tour is on hold. There are no drag departures on the Charlotte schedule right now, so there is nothing to book on this page today. The red bus is still running in Charlotte, and the two tours below are taking bookings.
