Ever wondered what life as an Uber driver is like?

'The Vegabus - Tales of an Uber driver', is a comedic storytelling of the chaotic and colourful adventures of a queer/trans Uber driver. "You must meet so much interesting people" is probably the most common phrase riders say. With over 6 years experience and over 16,000 trips, there have been a multitude of stories, personalities and experiences.

Part time driver, hype-girl, life/relationship therapist, counsellor, party facilitator - the Vegabus brings in the vibes for all.

With a long love of comedy and performing, Tea has slowly tipped her toes from the car seat to the stage.
