Live From South High
A One-Man Show About Teaching, Taking Risks & Starting Over
Before comedy became his full-time career, Orlando spent 12 years as a public school teacher—including two years teaching at the same high school he once attended.
Live From South High tells the unlikely journey that took him from student, to teacher, to the comedy stage—and what it means to leave one version of your life behind and start another.
