The Unteachables

Known to you as the students who were always the loud kids in the back of the classroom, The Unteachables are a group of stand-up comedians who just happened to fall backwards into educating America’s youth. With their viral videos amassing over 150 million views on social media, and appearances on platforms like The Breakfast Club, NBC, and Bored Teachers, this comedic powerhouse delivers humor that transcends the teacher’s lounge. One was teacher of the year and the other got fired for posting jokes on TikTok. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or just someone who hates their job, The Unteachables have something for everyone.

 

Lou Pharis
Raised in the non-famous parts of Louisiana, Lou Pharis never thought he’d be anything more than an NFL caliber offensive lineman. After failing to go pro and then losing out on American Ninja Warrior, Lou turned his talents to the public education system. A particularly rough day at school made Lou sign up for his first open mic when he realized there’s a teacher shortage, so he couldn’t be fired for doing comedy. Lou’s stand-up has since found massive success, garnering over 100 million views on social media. He has headlined clubs such as Zanies, Comedy Works, and Wiseguys, been seen on NBC and Bored Teachers, and has performed at dozens of comedy festivals across the country.

 

Stephen Taylor
Originally a Louisiana native, Stephen moved to Kansas City to escape his traditional southern roots. Combining his unique perspective with some interesting stories and some sweet southern charm, Stephen headlines and features at your favorite clubs, bars, and colleges across the country, as well as his own classroom. He has been featured on The Breakfast Club, The New York Post, and at San Francisco Sketchfest. His debut album 'The Bottom Half' was number one on iTunes and can be heard on Sirius XM.

 

Miss Redacted
Miss Redacted is a teacher, soon to be trophy wife, and rapidly rising comedian. After spending years in the classroom she now uses stand-up to process what therapy and a salary schedule couldn't. Despite the efforts of her girl boss mother, she is a true southern woman who enjoys waffle house and camo mini skirts. Best known as a co-host of the wildly popular Teacher Quit Talk podcast, and from her millions of views on TikTok, she promises her set will not include a lesson objective.
