Stand-up show by Portland comedian and teacher Philip Lindsay, who blends observational humour and self-deprecating wit about teaching and parenthood.
Philip Lindsay takes the stage at Helium Comedy Club on Sunday, October 18, at 4 PM. He's a Portland-based comedian whose act is built on the kind of stuff most of us deal with every day, and if you've spent any time around a classroom or a dining room table, you'll recognize where he's coming from.
Lindsay is a middle school teacher and a viral content creator, and those two worlds run through everything he does. He pulls from his background in education, his time in ministry, and the fact that he grew up homeschooled, and he balances sharp observations with self-deprecating wit and storytelling that lands because it's so recognizable. He talks about teaching, parenthood, the chaos of public school, and what it's like to be a homeschooler—the kind of things that usually stay inside the house or the staff room.
That connection to real life is why he's become a favorite among teachers and parents. His videos have racked up millions of views online, and he's been featured on The Today Show, but he's still a local Portland comic who keeps his delivery grounded. He's known for observational humor that doesn't try too hard to be something it isn't, and he's a regular on the local scene.
