Live From South High
A One-Man Comedy Show About Teaching, Taking Risks & Starting Over
Before comedy became his full-time career, Orlando spent 14 years as a public high school teacher — including teaching at the same high school he once attended.
That experience became the foundation for Live From South High, Orlando's one-man show about leaving a stable career, taking a chance on yourself, and finding out what happens when you decide to pursue something you've always wanted to do.
What People are Saying
