Don Gavitte Tickets

Don Gavitte blends a career in education with stand-up comedy to create a relatable, sharp, and uplifting live experience. A public school history teacher at Grant High School in Portland for 25+ years, Don began performing stand-up in 2018 after taking comedy classes.

His work has drawn local and national attention, including NPR coverage and recognition in regional outlets as a creative solution to teacher burnout.

On stage, Don brings years of classroom storytelling, a quick wit, and a genuine connection with audiences. He has performed at notable venues such as Broadway Comedy Club in New York City, headlining and producing The Teacher Show across the Pacific Northwest. He remains a fixture in the local comedy scene, earning recognition as a semifinalist in Portland’s Funniest 2025 contest and a selection for the 2022 Sixth City Comedy Festival in Cleveland.
