IF YOU WANT A PHYSICAL COPY OF NOT THE GYM TEACHER ON THE WORLD’S CUTEST USB DRIVE, EMAIL KELLIDUNHAMBOOKING@GMAIL.COM.BUT LET’S BE REAL. YOU’RE GOING TO STREAM IT.

We had so much fun on the NTGT house concert tour…definitely a before times kinda tour!

We were in Cleveland OH 2/16, Hiram College, OH 2/17 &18, Grand Rapids MI 2/19, Pittsburgh 2/22, and Buffalo NY 2/23.

Mid-April Kelli toured through Florida and Mississippi. Join Kelli’s mailing list for more details. Want to host a house concert or a show in your progressive church? We’re looking for spots. See below for details.

All the preview shows for NOT THE GYM TEACHER were free house concerts with the hat being passed for progressive/radical (mostly immigration-related) causes and it was pretty frickin’ amazing. If you’d like to plan a house concert for the resistance –and yes, you get to pick the cause–we’ve put together a whole guide here. Complete list on the House Concerts page but we’ve got dates in the Midwest in Feburary and Florida & Missippi in April.

To support travel to concerts in out of the way places that most need queer comedy, Kelli is offering up her back catalog of CDs on NoiseTrain; you can download for free, but if you’d like to tip, you’re making it possible for Kelli to spend her winter and spring break on the Megabus spreading the Not the Gym Teacher gospel. All sales of the ANGRY QUEER TEES on teepublic also go to support the tour!

If you want to dress up like a gym teacher, host a house concert. It’s true you can do it anyway, without a house concert. But it’s more fun with some comedy and a theme behind it.

Speaking, um, of gospel, Kelli recently heard from the leaders of a small LGBT group in a Bible College in the midwest. They want her to do a show, but the group is broke and also not really supposed to exist according to the rules of yknow, Bible College. Since Kelli is a Bible College runaway herself, she wants to make this happen. Tipping through NoiseTrain will support this important (and hopefully not physically dangerous) endeavor.

If YOU are with an LGBT group at a Bible College or Christian university that has a conduct code that excludes LGBT folks from existing, and you want to host Not the Gym Teacher, please email kellidunhambooking@gmail.com (BUT NOT FROM YOUR BIBLE COLLEGE EMAIL PLEASE) and we’ll chat. We’ll find a safe place off campus or in the local community and Kelli will even make you one of her tasty Bible College casseroles!

NOT the Gym Teacher is directed by the brilliant and hilarious Gastor Alamonte.

Everyone’s favorite ex-nun genderqueer nerd comic is back with a new show and the same hilarious confusion about daily life. 

Why doesn’t anyone think her diagrammed sentence tattoo is sexy?

Why don’t people want to discuss comparative death rituals on the first date?

Why does every high school student in the five boroughs think Kelli is their gym teacher? 

Why does Kelli keep having so so many BAD ideas?
