★ BUS DRIVER / SONG & DANCE MAN: AMRIT BAINS!!★
Amrit is a true inspiration. He's a jolly transit operator from Surrey who sings and makes videos on the side. His energy is very infectious and his message is to never be too embarrassed to enjoy your life to the fullest. Live Free Like a Junglee!!! He has almost 50 videos on his channel. Here are 2 of my favourites…

He was a featured speaker and performer at TEDxKids and last year he yoyo-ed for eight straight hours to raise money for flood victims in Calgary. In other words, he's a cool dude. We will talk to him and then he will bust a move.

↓ ☻ AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE↓ ☻
Comfy seats with drink holders without a bad view in the house. The Rio have wait staff walking through the aisle so you won’t have to miss a moment of the show to order another drink or buy some twirlers. We are also going to try a few shows where we keep the balcony open for minors (no alcohol allowed obviously) while making the main floor 19 +. If we only have a handful of under 19’s attending then this won’t last so we urge anyone under the legal age wanting to experience the show live to do so now before it’s too late.
