What you'll see and do
Impossibilities Magic, Mindreading and Mayhem!
You may have seen Buford on Tik-Tok, where he's gone viral several times over. Or maybe you've seen him in Pigeon Forge, Severville, or Gatlinburg where he's been entertaining audiences for 30 of the 35 years he's been in show business. He’s performed all over the world and appeared on television, including the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon and The Statler Brothers Show. He’s shared the stage with icons like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Boots Randolph…and once worked with a dog that could jump rope, which still refuses to return his calls. Known for his sharp humor, musical talent, and cast of quirky characters, Buford delivers a show that feels both timeless and completely unpredictable. And now you can see Buford in his very own show at the Impossibilities Theater!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bufords Big Time Variety Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sevierville.
How much does Bufords Big Time Variety Show cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sevierville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bufords Big Time Variety Show take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sevierville is not rushed.
Is Bufords Big Time Variety Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sevierville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bufords Big Time Variety Show?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bufords Big Time Variety Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bufords Big Time Variety Show?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sevierville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sevierville and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bufords Big Time Variety Show start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sevierville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sevierville?
+
Sevierville, TN packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Sevierville by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Sevierville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 7-Line Zipline Experience in Sevierville, Famous Moonshine & Wine Tour From Pigeon Forge, Small-Group 7-Line Zipline Activity at Sevierville Nature Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sevierville?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Sevierville, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sevierville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
