Teacher turned comedian to play the Lincoln
Former elementary school teacher and now professional comedian Lucas Bohn will bring his comedy show to the Lions Lincoln Theatre in Massillon on Friday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for the main floor and $15 for the balcony and can be purchased online at www.lionslincolntheatre.org or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
“Lesson Plans to Late Night” is Bohn’s story about transitioning from elementary school teacher to professional comedian. “The show is hysterical because not only do I perform stand up, but I also incorporate pictures from my journey,” Bohn said. “Everything from student work, funny signs I see while touring, to pictures of my family are included in the presentation.”
Bohn explained how he enjoys receiving feedback from audience members. “I love when I tell a joke about my life and after the show somebody comes up to me and says ‘we’ve been though that’ or ‘that’s happened to us.’ Comedy is everywhere in life. I feel that I have a great way of finding the funny in everyday situations and making people laugh about it.”
Bohn has performed with comedy icons like Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle and Jimmy Fallon. He was nominated Comedian of the Year by Campus Activities Magazine for 2013.
“It’s like the Oscars for college performers,” Bohn said. “Just to be nominated is a huge honor. I’ve also done work with Comics on Duty and performed for the troops. That was a very humbling and rewarding experience.”
Lions Lincoln Theatre is located at 156 Lincoln Way E. in Massillon.
