Have you ever worked in, was a student at, or dropped off a child in front of a school? Then this show is for you! Come enjoy a great lineup of comedians, who also happen to be teachers, share a few of their funniest lessons and experiences at the head of the class. The Teacher Show, created and hosted by Don Gavitte, has been described as a "solution for teacher burnout" by NPR and a "must see" by Willamette Week and the Eugene Weekly. Grab a hall pass and head to this stand-up showcase, which offers a NSFW take on classroom dynamics relayed by real-life educators and funny folks Todd Basil, Katie Nguyen & Rachel Aflleje.
Todd Basil is a standup comedian and college calculus instructor. He can make math funny but won't make you do any math. He has performed at clubs, festivals, wineries, breweries, and corporate events along the West Coast and beyond. He was also hired to speak at the Toastmasters Leadership Institute in Los Angeles, CA. This last year, he headlined at the New South Comedy Festival in South Carolina and performed at the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho. Check out his manic one-minute podcast on Apple Podcasts called "I. Drank. Too. Much. Coffee!".
Rachel Aflleje was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. Rachel works with children by day and entertains the crowds by night. (And yes, she's tired.) Rachel has performed all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond. She was a selected performer for the Seattle International Comedy Competition, Moon Tower JFL Comedy Festival, and more festivals that you probably haven't heard of. Rachel recently placed in the top of 3 of The Comedy Voice competition in Tacoma and co-produces The Laughing Elk. Rachel's comedy pokes fun at the struggles of hashtag real life with a heavy sprinkling of sass. Her ability to turn tragedy on its head and dunk it in the toilet a few times to show it whose boss leaves life's nastiest curveballs shaking in their boots.
