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.Ā 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 ā 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.
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 š ! 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 -. Weāve 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 didnāt feel like he hit his stride during the evening.
Gerry is hilarious! My mom and I loved the show! Will definitely see him again.
Best comedy show Iāve been to. We laughed the entire show including the opener Kelly Taylor. I love how Gerry can make a crowd laugh none stop without the use of profanity or vulgar jokes. Such a fun night, a not to miss show!!
Both comedians were very funny with clean humor. Their performances were very relatable which made it even funnier. I would recommend the show to anyone. Only wish it was longer because it was that funny and laughter always makes a person feel better.
We laughed for the entire show. Both opening comedian and Gerry Deeās An entire evening with No Vulgar Language what a treat!!!! Highly recommend this show and venue
I laughed from the moment he opened his mouth, the drive home with friends.......yup still laughing!
The show that Gerry Dee performed left myself and my husband laughing the entire time. We left with sore sides; I say that was a big hit! He did do a bit of crowd work which I have seen other comedians do and it went great. This is the first comedian I have seen in person and hope to see more in the future! If Gerry comes back I will buy tickets and see him again!
Gerry was great. Hes very funny and knows how to read his audience. He was everything I expected from his performance..however the lead comedian from Halifax was not. Gerry needs to make sure in the future to try and have someone prior to him that is actually funny. Just my opinion of course!
The opening act was not good at all. We absolutely enjoyed Gerry š
We had a great time lots of laughs Gerry was awesome 𤩠just wish it was a little longer . Also wish we were allowed to take a picture of him but all in all it was a great time š
Gerry was awesome. Very funny and enjoyable. The opener act was very flat but Gerry more then made up for that.
Mr. Dee was fantastic! I loved how he focused on everyday occurrences that everyone can relate to! Would see him again in a heartbeat!
Excellent show, baby seats and ticket refunds from Gerry by email! Wink
Gerry Dee was hilarious!! Didn't drone on, told hilarious stories. Will definitely see him again if he comes to town.
