The Teacher Show Returns to Tacoma—One Night Only!

After the bittersweet closure of The Laughing Elk, The Teacher Show is back for a special one-night-only event in Tacoma!

Some of the best comedians in the region spend their days shaping young minds—and their nights turning that chaos into comedy gold. Created and hosted by Don Gavitte, this beloved stand-up showcase brings together real-life educators and hilarious performers to share the funniest, wildest, and most honest moments from life in the classroom.

Called a “solution for teacher burnout” by NPR, this show isn’t just cathartic—it’s downright riotous. So grab a hall pass, leave the kids at home, and join us for an adults-only field trip you won’t forget.

One night. One stage. One hilarious reunion. Don’t miss it. Tickets on sale soon!!!
