"When I found out how to create jokes for not only myself but for audiences, and I brought it into the classroom, I saw the impact that it had on the kids. I was like, this is something that everybody needs to know. It's a very powerful tool for teachers in a time where we are losing a lot of relevance to the children, and hopefully, it opens up some doors and brings some new connections back," said Devin Siebold, motivational speaker and comedian.
Siebold has been the headliner with the "Bored Teachers National Comedy Tour" and is well known for his TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook antics.
