A serious man with short hair stares at the camera. He is wearing all black. Behind him, a toy bus explodes out of a wall of bright orange flame. You can see the strings holding the bus up.
Two men stand back to back at the front of a bus. The window is behind them. They are both on the phone talking to each other. The man on the left is in a blue boiler suit and bald. The man on the right is in a white t-shirt and police SWAT vest.
The inside of a bus at night. All hands are raised in the air, as the passengers are undergoing an adventure!

There’s a bomb on a bus. If the bus drops below 50 miles an hour, it blows up. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!

Jump onboard our vintage bus for this shameless comedic homage to the 1994 action thriller ‘Speed’, the film which proved once and for all the best drama is on public transport.

Warning: contains Hollywood(ish) special effects and jokes about Keanu Reeves’ career.

"Rollicking good fun, cleverly conceived and wonderfully enacted." ★★★★ - The West Australian

"A fast-paced and decidedly lo-fi show, which adds to the charm of it." ★★★★ - ArtsHub
