But it doesn’t stop there—we go deep into the hilarious truths of family, marriage, parenthood, and life itself. Nearly every Teachers Gone Bad show has been sold out—teachers show up for one reason: to hear the jokes they wish they could say out loud on campus. With former teachers leading the charge, it’s a full-on catharsis, no punches pulled, and absolutely NO FEAR of HR. Because, honestly, what are they going to do? Fire us twice?​
If you’re ready for a night of unapologetic, unfiltered, and downright wicked comedy, Teachers Gone Bad is the show you didn’t know you needed.
