For all those students who took any opportunity to laugh at their teachers, they can now atone for it by laughing with teachers during the national tour stop of the Bored Teachers' "The Struggle Is Real!" tour, a night of standup hilarity coming to Davenport's Adler Theatre on October 11.

Having previously played in Adler in 2023, the Bored Teachers are back with all-new material on their “The Struggle is Real!” comedy tour. For years, Bored Teachers Studios has brought a sense of humor to teachers around the world in order to ease their daily struggles in the classroom. They’ve amassed more than a billion views with their viral videos on social media, more than 10 million followers, and the number-one-ranked teacher-comedy podcast – number six of all standup-comedy shows on Apple Podcasts. Since 2022, Bored Teachers has been selling out comedy clubs and major theatres across 49 states, bringing laughter to in excess of 150,000 teachers throughout the school year, and has become the main event to attend in all of teacher world. Even non-teacher fans have reviewed it as one of the funniest stand up shows they’ve ever seen. The Bored Teachers Show is a comedy powerhouse that anyone who’s ever been in a classroom can relate to.

Raving about the show at BoredTeachers.com, schoolteacher Angela Barton, who attended with fellow-teacher friends, said, "Each Bored Teachers Comedy Show performance features four top-tier comedians, the very same ones you’ve seen in those viral skits that rack up millions of shares on social media. Seeing them live, though? That was a whole different experience – raw, unfiltered, and ridiculously funny. Every laugh mattered and hit home. We all thought, 'Wow, every teacher goes through the same thing. It’s not just me.' What we endure is unreal, and the humor comes from its outrageousness. There were jokes about administrator and parent unreasonableness, staff meetings, and the occasional bodily function. I mean, we do teach kids, right? I had an administrator sitting in the same row as me, and he was laughing harder than anyone I have ever seen, especially at the micromanagement jokes. To be honest, I thought he was going to hurt himself."
