Comedian Eddie B. is hilariously melding teaching and comedy in the social media space. Born Eddie Brown, the Houston native and self-proclaimed “teacher‘s comedian” is a former elementary and junior high school teacher. A natural-born humorist, he became an overnight sensation among educators worldwide after he began posting videos titled “What Teachers Really Say.”
As he settles into his comedic stride, Eddie B. spoke to rolling out about his viral moment, why he made the permanent shift to comedy, and what the next level looks like for him.
