Featuring two teacher-comedians from Portland, OR: Don Gavitte and Todd Basil. Our aim is to create a welcoming experience for everyone. The comedy is free of toxic masculinity and hate speech.
Check out the recent NPR Weeked Edition Story featuring Don and Todd:
Don Gavitte has been teaching high school history for nearly 30 years. He lives with his wife, kids, and pet rabbit in a little blue house. Don has been doing stand-up since 2018 and once made $78 in tips at a bar show. He was selected to be part of the Sixth City Comedy Festival in 2022 and the Ha Ha Harvest Festival in 2022 & 23. Don also headlines & produces The Teacher Show which has sold out rooms all over the Pacific Northwest and is currently one of Willamette Week’s “must see” shows in Portland.
Todd Basil is a stand-up comedian and college calculus instructor. He can make math funny but won’t make you do any math. He recently headlined at the New South Comedy Festival in South Carolina and performed at the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, ID. This year he produced and performed in the comedy show Nerd Tour 2024 across the Pacific Northwest. He sings about food as the frontman of synth pop group Joy of Cooking Division.
