Al Jackson

Cleveland native Al Jackson began his professional career as a middle school teacher (and had to entertain children), but has since used this experience to craft an absolutely hilarious standup routine. Since his teaching days, Jackson has become a jack-of-all trades in the comedy world with television and radio appearances and, of course, his very own standup routine. You can't help but laugh listening to Jackson's account of taking on the PTA and his tales of some of the crazy classroom antics of his students. He performs tonight at 7 and 9:30 at Hilarities. Tickets are $23 to $28. (Niesel)
