If you’re a teacher, your to-do list probably has more words than this entire post — and half of those tasks should’ve been done yesterday. Burnout isn’t something that happens after 20 years anymore. It shows up early… like, Thanksgiving early. Between the paperwork, the behavioral chaos, the parent entitlement, and the everything else, teachers are emotionally running on fumes.

We need something to lighten the load.

If laughter is the best medicine, the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour is basically a fully stocked pharmacy. Here’s why:

1. Because “self-care” can’t just mean dry shampoo and a free jeans pass.

Administrators love to preach “self-care” and then hand you a jeans pass like it’s a spa weekend. News flash: teachers should be allowed to wear jeans whenever they want.

You know what actual self-care looks like? Laughing until you cry with people who understand your daily chaos. The Comedy Tour gives you permission to breathe, release stress, and feel human again.

2. Because burnout is spreading faster than a cough in Kindergarten.

Teachers absorb everyone’s emotions: the kids’, the parents’, sometimes even their coworkers’. No wonder we’re exhausted.

The Comedy Tour flips that script. It reminds teachers that camaraderie still exists, joy is still possible, and that you’re absolutely not alone in feeling overwhelmed. It’s the spark that helps us crawl through the next couple of months.

3. Because teachers can feel isolated.

Teaching can feel like living on a tiny island where the only other residents are students who think shouting ,”Sixxx, Sevennn,” is peak comedy while it drives teachers straight to the funny farm.

Even when you’re surrounded by people all day, it’s shockingly easy to feel alone in the chaos, the pressure, and the nonstop demands.

The show? It releases all the pent-up crazy. No one will be yelling, “6-7” to get a laugh. Well, hopefully, anyway.

4. Because there are no behavior consequences anymore.

Teaching in today’s classrooms with no backup is traumatic and sometimes a little frightening. One out-of-control student can ruin everybody’s day, and teachers are left to pick up the pieces and feel guilty about it.

The comedians know this world. They’ve lived the behavior management nightmares and have a way of identifying with some of the worst teaching days of your life and making it, well, hilarious. 

5. Because respect feels like a thing of the past.

Between being reprimanded for test scores, blamed for not controlling student behavior, and expected to fix every social and emotional issue under the sun, respect for educators sometimes seems nonexistent.

The Comedy Tour gives that respect back.
 “We see you. We get you. And you deserve better.”

For one night, teachers feel valued, appreciated, and celebrated. It’s an all-out revival experience, trust me.

6. Because they have taken the fun out of school.

Kickball, Fun Fridays, and sometimes even recess are a thing of the past. Administrators are so worried about lost learning time that they have taken away the joy of school for students and teachers.

Well, do you want to have fun?

The Comedy Tour gives you pure, unfiltered happiness without having to write an objective on the board first. If you don’t laugh, are you even a teacher?

7. Because teachers are tired of being told to ‘stay positive’.

“Toxic positivity” hits different when your prep has been stolen, you’re dealing with disrespectful students, and your grading pile looks like Mount Everest.

The Comedy Tour is a space where teachers can laugh at the absurdity of it all and forget about it, if only for a few hours.

8. Because teachers absorb more student trauma than anyone realizes.

Teachers don’t just teach reading and math — we carry the emotional weight of little humans who come in with heartbreak, fear, chaos, and stories that keep us awake at night. We’re the counselors, the safe space, the constant. And absorbing that trauma day after day takes a toll no “teacher appreciation lunch” can fix.

The Comedy Tour gives teachers a moment to set that weight down. For a couple of hours, you get to release, breathe, and laugh instead of holding everything together. It’s emotional CPR for educators who spend their days healing everyone else.

9. Because micromanagement is at an all-time high.

Teachers are expected to do it all, yet somehow we can’t be trusted to teach an unscripted curriculum. The micromanagement is exhausting.

The endless walkthroughs, the checklist evaluations, the “suggestions,” the scripted lessons, the constant feeling of being watched…it’s enough to make anyone snap.

No one will be monitoring your every move at The Bored Teachers Comedy Tour.
There will be no standards to uphold. Feel free to go completely off script. In fact, it is encouraged.

10. Because teachers deserve to be the main character for once.

All day long, you lift everyone else up.
This tour lifts you.

For one glorious night, you’re the hero, the star, the main character of the story. This is your celebration because you have earned it.

Bottom Line

I have seen firsthand how this show releases the stress. In fact, one teacher last year released so much stress, she almost crashed the stage. The Bored Teachers Comedy Tour isn’t just entertainment–it’s a love letter to educators. It’s the reminder you didn’t know you needed: that you’re still strong, still hilarious, and still making a difference, one chaotic school day at a time.
