From balancing teaching, stand up comedy and dad life, to birth stories, to teacher maternity and paternity leave, to stand up comedy, teacher influencers, and how to pronounce Mario, we talk about it all on today's hilarious interview that you do not want to miss.

Because today on the podcast, I'm talking with NYC teacher, stand up comedian and Winter Educate & Rejuvenate keynote speaker, Gaspare Randazzo.

You may know him from Instagram, TikTok, or as Co-Host of "The Social Studies Podcast with Joe Dombroski and Gaspare Randazzo"

And let me tell you, he is HILARIOUS! Once we confirmed him for our event, I spent some time scrolling his Instagram (@standuprandazzo) and laughing at his videos. In fact, he's so good at stand-up that people are traveling to see him go on tour. (but pssst... you don't need to... skip the hundreds of dollars on a flight and join us virtually here!). Here is a little more background about Gaspare.

Gaspare Randazzo is a teacher in his 11th year in the classroom. When he's not in the classroom, you can find Gaspare doing Stand Up Comedy where he talks about his life as a teacher and his experiences dealing with students from all walks of life. His stories range from students hating him and wanting to punch him in the face to them loving him and bringing him school lunch trays to eat during every period. These non conventional teaching stories will have teachers and non teachers alike finding themselves laughing and scratching their heads at just how outrageous they are!

If you enjoy this interview, be sure to join us at E&R! He's so funny- full stand up at our event. You'll get to be there live interacting in zoom. You do not want to miss it!
