The Teacher Show

$25 general admission. $20 for teachers, current and retired.

Have you ever worked in a school, studied in one, or dropped a kid off out front? Then this show is for you. The Teacher Show brings together a lineup of comedians who also happen to be educators, sharing their funniest lessons and hardest-won stories from the head of the class. Created and hosted by Don Gavitte, the show has been called a "solution for teacher burnout" by NPR and a "must-see" by Willamette Week. It plays Portland's Revolution Hall every November and has toured all across the Pacific Northwest.

This lineup features Don Gavitte, Todd Basil, and more!
