The 24 is the best bus, by far. Pimlico to Hampstead Heath? Yes please.

Reminds me of a funny tweet someone posted early in the pandemic lockdowns, tweeted without any context given:
“Which burner is your favorite? Mine is back left.”

Haha thanks for linking!
You have a good open, but when you drop the 1912 line at the end of the opening bit, it's practically crying for a topper.
If there's anything in local history you find interesting that happened that year (or even better, in the previous two years), you could have played that against the stereotype of London buses always coming late and in groups.
Btw, I really want to congratulate you for having the courage to do a set. It takes a lot to perform comedy in front of an audience of strangers - with tech talks you at least have the slides as a crutch, but with standup, you have nothing to fall back on. You have a good grip on pacing, too. Please keep at it.
Made me laugh! :-)

It gave me a good chuckle. Bravo!
I /really/ like that opener: "My favourite London bus is the 24".
