Teachers Gone Bad comedians discuss everything – the good, the bad, and the really bad about being in education. Our comedians use the stage to discuss school related topics and also the hilariousness of life including family, parenthood, dating, marriage and other life experiences.
Teachers look to us to say the things on stage that they wish they could say on campus. And since some of the comedians are former teachers or school employees, they let it all out.
NO HOLDING BACK! No fear of getting fired. How can you get fired if you’ve already been, right?

Women of the Night (of a Certain Age) is an exciting new comedy showcase premiering January 2025. Each month, Chicago’s funniest women over 40 regale audiences as they demystify perimenopause, post-divorce dating, and all the other delightful horrors women of a certain age endure. Each show also features an “Honorary Biddy,” or a younger comic to keep us all on trend. When a woman turns a certain age, society tends to discard them, but Women of the Night (of a Certain Age) is here to show that aging is a superpower that liberates women from giving any f*cks. And there’s simply no one funnier than a woman with no f*cks left to give. Come see for yourself!
