Kevin Precious

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).

More details

Kevin Precious used to be a teacher. He enjoyed the teaching part; it was the stuff that goes with it that was a drag. So he left.

Determined to get a "Grown Up Career" after years spent as a musician, Kevin trained as a Religious Studies Teacher, despite being an affirmed sceptic and non-believer. Whilst wrangling with disinterested kids in various Secondary Schools in Sussex during the day, Kevin increasingly pursued the business of stand-up comedy at night... inevitably something had to give. The show is a funny overview of the pitfalls and pratfalls that go with Kevin's former profession of teaching; with a bit of pedagogical stuff (ooh-er) thrown in for good measure.

Quotes

"...the hour flies by..." and "...satisfying in the extreme..." (Chortle)
