Laughing Through Charlotte
The Story of Funny Bus
Lake Norman residents Lisa Schnurr and Kevin Anderson took one bright red school bus, a live comedian, and a whole lot of “well, crap, I guess we’re doing this,” and turned it into Funny Bus – a 90-minute BYOB comedy tour of Charlotte that’s now carried more than 260,000 riders across three cities. This week, Jeff reconnects with the husband-and-wife team to hear how a converted school bus became a decade-long adventure.
Lisa and Kevin share how they pivoted from a food-tour company to betting everything on Funny Bus, what a tour actually feels like as a comedian riffs on Charlotte’s history from uptown to NoDa, and why it’s become a favorite for bachelorette parties, out-of-town guests, and even realtor housewarming gifts – plus where they might roll next.
