Tour Operations Assistant

About the role

Funny How (A faith based comedy tour) is hiring a part time Tour Operations Assistant to travel with our team two weekends a month. We bring live comedy and encouragement to audiences across the United States. All travel is covered. The work is physical and the nights are long, but you finish each one knowing you helped a room full of people laugh, think, and leave better than they came.

Remaining trips this season

6 trips remain. Every trip typically departs in the morning and returns in the morning. THIS IS A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE.

• Trip 1: Depart Saturday, September 12th. Return Monday, September 14th
• Trip 2: Depart Friday, September 18th. Return Monday, September 21th.
• Trip 3: Depart Friday, October 9th. Return Monday, October 12th
• Trip 4: Depart Saturday, October 24th. Return Monday, October 26th
• Trip 5: Depart Friday, November 6th. Return Monday, November 9th
• Trip 6: Depart Friday, November 13th. Return Saturday, November 14th

Availability for all six remaining trips is a requirement of this role, not a preference. Please check every date against your calendar before you apply. The tour resumes February through May 2027, with those dates released later.

What you will do

• Train and lead the local volunteer team on site, assign positions, and run them through the event with clear direction. Most volunteers arrive the day of the show and have never worked an event like this before. You set the tone for their experience.
• You will be trained on a specific area by the Event Logistics Coordinator and selected to a specific tour focus. Some examples are manage entry flow with ushers and greeters, guiding a team to scan tickets at entry, manage the merchandise area with volunteers, train and run the sales tables.
• Assist the Tour Event Coordinator with load and unload at the airport in Dallas to the venue for setup, run of show, and load out.
• You are often the first person a guest meets and the last one they see.

What we are looking for

• Comfortable standing in front of a group of volunteers you met an hour earlier and giving them clear direction.
• Steady when plans change. Doors open late, a shipment arrives short, a line backs up. You solve it without losing composure.
• Careful with money and inventory. Cash handling, counts, and end of night reconciliation are part of the job.
• Comfortable with a point of sale system and a mobile device.
• Aligned with the mission. You are glad to be part of an event built around faith and encouragement.

Physical requirements

Movement and carrying are essential to this role. You will be on your feet for long stretches, working late nights and early call times, and lifting equipment and merchandise that is sometimes over 30 to 40 pounds.

Helpful background

Live events, touring, box office, retail, hospitality, church production, or volunteer coordination.
