MAD BUS DRIVER DRIVER
Session’s approach to relaying the experiences he has on the bus never stems from a negative angle but rather a positive one, accompanied by humor and often a lesson, his time as a Metro driver being one that he has cherished. “Dammit stands for directing and mentoring minds in traffic.” Mad stands for motivation and determination as part of the recipe,” Session said.
“Mad doesn’t stand for anger or anything negative. One cornerstone of his character is his catchphrase, “I’m mad, dammit!” And so from there, practice makes things better.”Īnthony Session, aka The Mad Bus Driver, performs at the Columbia City Theater in 2019 (Photo: Greg McCorkle)įrom then on, Session dedicated himself to improving his Mad Bus Driver character, performing at open mics around Seattle, and in 2019 he performed a sold-out show at the Columbia City Theater.

Aiming to liven up her spirits, when Session would return from work he would relay the stories of his day. It all really began, Session said, nearly 20 years ago when his wife suffered a stroke that caused significant damage.
Although he began his career in the late ’90s, The Mad Bus Driver was born later. Louis native, is a King County Metro driver by day, and his experiences driving the people of Seattle sparked the creation of his Mad Bus Driver character.
