If you have ever survived a staff meeting, lost a battle with a copy machine, or spent an entire Thursday convinced it was already Friday, Bored Teachers has a show for you. The “Is It Friday Yet?!” Comedy Tour lands at Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Showtime is 7:30 PM, and the box office opens two hours before curtain.
About Bored Teachers
Bored Teachers started as an online community built for educators — a place to find viral skits about administrator nonsense, impossible parent emails, and the eternal mystery of why some meetings could have just been emails. Founded by former educators James and Marilou Tarantino, the brand has become the dominant force in teacher-focused comedy, with over 1 billion video views and more than 10 million followers across platforms.
The live tour launched in 2022 and has since sold out more than 200 theaters across 49 states, 5 countries, and 3 continents — including runs in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. They have performed for more than 200,000 teachers worldwide and host the #1 teacher-comedy podcast. The fall 2026 leg spans 38 additional dates across more than 90 cities internationally.
Each night features a rotating ensemble of comedian-educators hosted by MC KC Mack. Expect material on unreasonable administrators, baffling parents, staff meetings that should have been emails, and classroom chaos you can finally laugh at from a safe distance. Runtime is approximately two hours. PG-13 content; recommended for ages 13 and up.
Stick around after — a post-show meet-and-greet is part of the deal.
About Shea’s Performing Arts Center
Shea’s is at 650 Main Street in downtown Buffalo — a 3,019-seat theater that gives comedy at this scale the room it deserves. The energy of a full house behind every punchline hits different than a small club. If you are driving in from Rochester, Syracuse, or anywhere across western New York, plan to build some time into the night. Box office opens two hours before showtime. Groups of 10 or more should inquire about group reservations directly with the venue.
Tickets
Tickets are available at the Shea’s box office (650 Main Street, Downtown Buffalo) or through Ticketmaster. This tour has a track record of selling out — grab yours before it does.
