HISTORY
The BlundaBus aka Brenda, was created in Croydon for Ambition Festival in 2015 we pulled some seats out, made some benches, put in a bar and did 3 weeks of shows leading up to the festival.
We then drove up to Edinburgh Fringe via Livestock Festival in Gloucester.
That first year we also went to Musicport for the first time. Brenda lived on the Hackney Road for a while next to another double decker bus which was the home of Just Fab vegan restaurant.
Comedians Joe Davies, Pat Cahill, John Kearns all helped us as we continued to turn her into something new.
The Following year we added Kelburn Garden Party, Leicester Comedy Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival.
We missed Musicort and went to Galway Comedy Festival instead, but then the year after that 2017, we found that if we drove from Whitby to Galway non stop we could do both! Tony Milroy got involved and fitted the piano. We started to set about sorting out the electrics adding batteries and inverters etc And we also painted Brenda Green!
We visited loads of breweries including Born in the Borders and Bob moved in for months. Living in a Brewery on a Double Decker Bus is living the dream!
We have twice sailed over to Norway for Bergen HumorFest and broke down half way up a Norwegian mountain… In 2019 we toured around Denmark...
All of that was in the before times.. We survived the pandemic and used our time to develop and launch the community focused Vogrie Pogrie Festival in Vogrie Country Park...
