Teaching is a Joke - Learning Through Laughter
Part of PDTCA 2026
Friday 20 February 2026·5:20 pm
Brian Dawydiuk is a full time teacher and a stand up comedian. Brian started doing comedy to start an option class at his school. The use of humour has helped connect with students but it also served another subconscious purpose in his life. In November 2025, Brian experienced burnout from masking Autism for 46 years. It took many weeks to recover but he sees this experience as an opportunity to possibly help others. This session is designed to laugh while you learn.
