Bored Teachers Comedy Tour Reviews

TERRIBLE

Attended the September 16 performance at Phoenix Orpheum Theater. First (and this is not the fault of the performers), I was in the side section, Row 8. When I first arrived, I thought this would be great. It was not because, in this area of the theater, there is very little slope, so not able to see over the heads of people in front. Also, the acoustics were terrible, making it very difficult to hear everything the performers said. Also, a video was shown at the beginning, and that, too, was almost impossible to understand what was being said. Was supposed to start at 7:00, but didn't until 7:20 because people were still coming in from downstairs bar area. Even after it did start, people still came in and were very loud. Doors should close at time that performance should start. Plain and simple, the performers were not funny, and we left after 3 of them. Many people were laughing, but because they laughed when nothing was even being said, we assumed it was just people laughing just to laugh and not at the performers. All in all, save your money!

TONE DEAF

Great example of why the public is losing faith in us as educators. Crude, makes us look petty, unprofessional, and not concerned about our students. You should be ashamed of yourselves, not applauded or laughed at!

DISAPPOINTED AND EMBARRASSED

I am a recently retired teacher/librarian who spent 44 years in K-12 schools. My sister who was not an educator bought tickets for me, herself, and her husband who is a retired pastor. I was shocked at the language. I heard more swear words than I heard in all my years of teaching. None of my colleagues use profanity to that degree in or out of school. I had expected to hear anecdotes about teaching. Over 75% of the content had nothing to do with school. It's no wonder the public has such little respect for our profession. How sad that this was the best you could find. Truly a waste of time and money. If I could have given 0 stars, I would have.

CRUDE AND OFFENSIVE

My friend and I, both teachers, were absolutely shocked at the vulgarity and the crude language in this show, all totally unnecessary. The teaching field has rich fodder for humorous stories, but these people just wanted to focus on the vulgar. Very, very disappointing.

BORING

I follow them on social media and love them but in person, it was not a great show. A few good laughs but mostly boring,.

DON’T SPEND YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS!

THE WORST! DO NOT GO TO THIS! I cannot even believe I spent money on this. This is for educators?? Educators should hold themselves to a higher standard. Most jokes are laced with foul language, obscenities, and EXPLICIT MATERIAL. There should be a warning telling people what they will be listening to. Some of the jokes even sexualized children. All of us who went walked away very disappointed and even angry. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! You will only walk away with disappointment and regrets. By worst regret, besides going to this, is that I did not walk out. Spend your money on something with value! DO NOT GO! You too will walk away with regrets!
