The Comedian
With nearly three decades on stage, Mike Rivera has established himself as a premier comedy attraction and consistent crowd-pleaser from coast to coast. Class is in session when this longtime teacher takes the stage, with his trademark "teachable moments" keeping the audience laughing night after night. The quick-witted comedian tears through a fast-paced set that highlights his likable stage persona and clever writing style. It's no wonder that ABC's The View named him "America's Most Hilarious Teacher" in a nationally-televised comedy competition.
The Teacher
Whether he's delivering a lesson to engaged students or taking them on a trip overseas, Rivera connects with his students the way a comedian connects with his audience-- because he is a comedian, and he considers his kids to be the most important audience he faces. "Comedy is about finding common ground and reaching the audience in a personal and meaningful way," Rivera said. "Teaching is no different, except the rewards continue long after the laughter stops."

Mike Rivera was the perfect choice to close the Highlands County ECET2 District Convening. He not only made us laugh until we cried, he spoke the truth and uplifted the crowd with his realistic outlook on teaching. His comedic timing was impeccable, his jokes hilarious, and his message believable because he is a teacher just like us. — Science Coach, Park Elementary School
