WHO IS JIMMY BURNS?
I'M A FORMER GRADE SCHOOL TEACHER TURNED STUDENT
OF LIFE! AS A STUDENT OF LIFE I'VE BEEN TOLD I'M
A VERY SLOW LEARNER. WELL, THAT WAS THE THOUGHT
EXPRESSED BY WIFE #1.
I LEFT THE CLASSROOM AFTER HEARING MYSELF TELL
STUDENTS, "GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS. NEVER QUIT!"
A LITTLE VOICE INSIDE ME SAID, "HEY TEACH?
DID YOU HEAR WHAT YOU SAID? PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!"
SO, I HIT THE ROAD AS A WORKING COMEDIAN.
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS I'VE PERFORMED IN EVERY NOOK,
CRANNY AND CORNER OF AMERICA. MOST RECENTLY I'VE
BEEN TOURING WITH TWO OF THE HOTTEST STARS ON THE
CIRCUIT: ARSENIO HALL AND GEORGE LOPEZ.
 ON
STAGE I SHARE MY CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES: THE JOY,
THE LAUGHTER, THE WOUNDS.
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE DESK WE'LL JOURNEY BACK
THROUGH KIDHOOD: PUBERTY AND ADULT IMMATURITY.
I'M A SURVIVOR!
17 YEARS OF MARRIAGE (THAT’S CUMULATIVE!).
10 YEARS OF TEACHING PUBLIC SCHOOL (NOT WITHOUT
SCARS).
A LIFETIME RECOVERING CATHOLIC (CAN I GET AN AMEN?!)
