Description

Kevin Precious used to be a teacher. He enjoyed the teaching part. He just didn't enjoy all of the other stuff that went with it. So he decided to leave and get his life back. Join him as he explores the foibles of his former profession including the odd pedagogical swipe (phew!) in the process. 'Instantly recognisable stage presence and boundless wit' (Leicester Mercury). 'Kevin's stage charisma and poise set him head and shoulders above the previous acts' (Times).

Entertaining and thought provoking 50 minutes, full of jokes and insights into the world of teaching. I'd give him a job but as a comedian in which he excels.
Loved it! 5 stars from me.

A great mix of jokes, anecdotes and observations that definitely hit the mark for the teachers in the audience but worked just as well for the non-teachers (such as myself.)

Fantastic set for anyone who works in education or has been through it.
Kevin is a great comic and comperes at the local comedy club where I live, so I have seen him perform many times. I also saw 'Not Appropriate' his previous show about working in education which was great. I was worried that this new show might repeat material but this wasn't the case at all.
I went with my wife and 17 year old daughter and we spent pretty much the whole hour laughing. My face hurt by the end, always a good sign!
Go and see this show, you'll love it and it's at a time of day when you can easily fit it between other things.
