GERRY DEE ON TOUR:
Personal story looms large in the stand-up of Canadian comic Gerry Dee. A former sportsman and physical education teacher, Dee's act draws heavily on the comic potential of institutional learning and the inherently funny dynamic of teacher and student. As a finalist on the 2007 season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, Dee more than proved his performance chops, beating out most of the competition to take home 3rd place. With his hit sitcom Mr. D entering its third season, Dee is sure to be sharper than ever on The Real Mr. D 2014 Comedy Tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Ontario, Gerry Dee played varsity hockey and golf at university before going on to become a physical education teacher. His experiences coaching young athletes and students provided him plenty of fodder for his stand-up act, and in 1999 he was named Toronto's Funniest New Comic. After deciding to pursue comedy full-time, Dee went on to win numerous comedy competitions and prizes in the '00s, including the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition in 2002 — an honor he shares with comic legends Robin Williams and Ellen Degeneres. After a successful appearance on the 5th season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, Dee launched his namesake sitcom Mr. D on Canadian television in 2012, announcing its renewal for a third season in 2014.
Excellent spectacle! L’humoriste était très drôle et celui de la première partie aussi (Dylan). Nous avons apprécié les blagues sur la langue française. Nous avons bien ri. C’était la 2e fois que nous voyions Gerry en spectacle et s’il y en a une 3e, nous reviendrons assurément. 🤩
Before the show, Gerry Dee was walking down the street and he was nice enough to take a picture with me and my son. The show was great and the opening guest was great as well! A great night out! We are big fans of Mr. D and now Family Fued. Gerry Dee didn’t disappoint. Thanks Gerry!
Very funny show. Would see him again and again. Gerry Dee gives us a look at his life and family with skill and tact.
I went to the Ottawa show with my sisters and we all laughed until we cried. Gerry is such a natural and the stories about his family are so relatable. The show exceeded my expectations. I look forward to seeing his next show!
Was a great act. Lots of laughs. The opening act was good too
Love, Love, Love Gerry Dee! Exceptional comedian. So Canadian & so relatable! I have not laughed that hard in a long time. The world needs more Gerry Dee! Loved the venue-the NAC in Ottawa. Perfect!
Both comedians were awesome 👏 ! Great value for the ticket price
Gerry Dee is quick witted and so relatable with his experiences in the classroom, in sport, in marriage and with his teenage and adult children. We laughed nonstop and so did everyone else in the audience -. We’ve seen him three times and appreciate his witty one-liners, playful banter with guests, and clever observations about everyday life - highly recommend his lastest show - do not miss when he comes to town!!
Great show. I could bring my teens/older adult children without cringing too hard. Relatable humour and fun audience interaction.
The show was late starting however the opening act, Kelly Taylor, was great and quickly had the crowd laughing. When Gerry Dee came out he seemed to have low energy and it took a while for him to get going. Gerry did well but it didn’t feel like he hit his stride during the evening.
