THIS CLEVER ONE-WOMAN SHOW IS GETTING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT TAKING L.A. PUBLIC TRANSIT

Bus People

The term “Metro splain” is when people who never use L.A. public transit try to tell you how bad they think it is. Take it from someone who has relied on it for over 20 years, it’s … fine. And it’s only getting better!

In roughly 50 minutes, Tamra Brown embodies nine unmistakably L.A. characters with varying perspectives on our city’s least-respected mode of transportation. Using character monologues, slide presentations, and even dance, the show explores the history and challenges misconceptions about public transit in L.A. It will leave you inspired to take one specific step toward the green, walkable, transit-friendly city we deserve.

Audiences are calling Bus People “a must-see show” and “a love story to living in Los Angeles.” One viewer said the show “has inspired me to take the bus,” adding that Tamra is “so effective at communicating her passion for public transit in the most unexpected & hilarious ways.” Another praised how it “effortlessly dances between really funny beats, incisive commentary on community/public transportation, and genuinely moving character-driven moments.” More audience reviews can be found HERE

BACKGROUND: Tamra was born legally blind so driving has never been an option for her. As a writer, comedian, and avid Metro user, she’s wanted to create this show for a very long time to help normalize taking public transit. Since Metro is having a moment right now in the wake of the massively popular “Ride the D” campaign, it feels like the perfect time for angelenos to reconsider why the F*CK they won’t just take the bus.

CREDITS: Tamra currently appears in the dark comedy Self Reliance on Hulu. You can also check out Tamra’s comedy on her TikTok and Instagram channels, where many of her characters and impressions have gone viral. Her followers particularly enjoy the content series Wife Wives, which is a parody of what reality shows would have been like if they existed in the 1950s. Tamra has had sketches featured on Funny or Die and WhoHaha, and has danced on ABC’s The Gong Show, Dance Battle America, and the Angie Tribeca Binge-a-thon on TBS.
