Join us on Saturday Sept. 20th for Out of Bounds, a one-night-only comedy event where the teachers become the class clowns!

Each of these comedians is either a current or former educator, and they’re trading in their pencils for punchlines. Expect hilarious tales from the frontlines of education—from awkward parent-teacher conferences, to rogue Zoom classes, cafeteria chaos, and sex ed. These teachers have seen it all... and now they're telling all!

Your headliner for the evening will be nationally touring comedian, Sam Salem.
Once a midwesterner, Sam is now an LA-based comedian known best for fitting in with the youth (read: making up Gen Z slang for his students). When Sam isn't headlining at clubs and theaters throughout the U.S., he's creating online videos featuring his uniquely laidback comedic voice, reaching more than 100 million views across platforms. As a result, his comedy has been featured on EllenTV, iHeartRadio, and in national commentary on SportsCenter. Perhaps his most impressive feat, Sam faces his toughest audience when he's not on stage: high school classrooms.

The show will also feature Cleveland-based comedians, Autumn Carper and Sara Short, and a special guest or two!

Whether you’re a student, a parent, a fellow educator, or just someone who survived school, this show will have something everyone can relate to.

As always, the Second April gallery and shops will be open and we encourage you to visit our website for a list of bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the show!
