About the Show
From windswept concrete shelters to gleaming Swedish super-stops, this multimedia travelogue celebrates the overlooked beauty of bus stops, with photos, stories and humour proving that waiting can be surprisingly wonderful.
The show takes audiences on a gentle, funny, and oddly moving journey through the art, absurdity, and quiet wonder of this important, yet too often overlooked, aspect of public transport.
Created and performed by Jim Judges (aka the comedian behind Ian Crawford, Cutlery Safety Expert).
