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.
great comic-felt like we were just at a party with a really funny guy. Relatable We were laughing so hard it hurt!
My husband and I took my sister-in-law and and uncle to this skow while we were visiting in Thunder Bay... what a great night! We laughed so hard I had no voice left the next day and we were all still laughing days later. Highly recommend!!
Great show. Felt totally unscripted. Laughs from beginning to end.
I was in front row and got to meet him afterwards....the show was great made me laugh the whole way threw.....if he came back i would seen him again. And hope he does! I wouldve bought a shirt or something if there was any but loved the show and hope to see u back Gerry
Seriously, run, don't walk to get tickets to this show! I went with my husband and we haven't laughed like this in ages! If you have children, attended sports with children, are a teacher or know one well, or have been married awhile, every single statement he makes will have you in stitches. His commentary on life was bang on, totally relatable and simply hilarious. Do not miss your opportunity to let Gerry Dee bring a tremendous amount of joy into your evening - go and see him. You'll be so glad you did.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Gerry Dee's show. His sense of humor and the topics he chooses to focus on had us laughing loudly on many occasions. Sadly the evening passed too quickly leaving us wishing he would stay overtime!
There was a lengthy line up to get in. Missed part of the opening act. Opening act was not that funny. Gerry Dee was fantastic. He was only on stage for an hour.
Hilarious as usual. Could have been a little longer. 85 minutes total for opening act and main act seems brief.
Was it all ad lib or did he have people planted in the audience ?
Was a great night out, show was fantastic. Venue was pretty good except the part where you can't bring your drinks inside.
Gerry was great! Kept us laughing the whole time. Opener was a nice surprise. Haven’t seen him before. Love the venue. A must see when he comes again.
Hilarious as always. Third time seeing Gerry D and he always has us laughing with his risqué humour, in his own style. Look forward to seeing him on his next visit, to get a good ab workout, laughing.
Jerry is always a good time. Opener was 3/5 …more new material for Jerry would have made it 5/5.
We walked out. He was very rude and it made it uncomfortable. The opening act was hilarious though. The venue was really nice.
Gerry Dee is so funny. I have seen him twice now. Would definitely go again if he comes into town.
The show was hilarious. There was an opening act, but Gerry’s act had a natural flow to it and he played off the audience. At our show, a principal was in the audience and he brought his 10 year old daughter. Gerry played off of this amazingly since the show does have cursing and some adult humour. Witty and interactive humour with well thought out jokes.
I was really disappointed, first of all he looked like a bum walking onto the stage. Could’ve put in a little effort there…. Wonders why the security wouldn’t let him backstage…? I was really disappointed. Wasn’t even funny, putting down his wife and family, not cool
Gerry was so funny 😆 we had a great time would see him again for sure!
He seemed low on energy & not very funny. Very disappointing show. Would not see him again.
Show and venue at Casino Rama were great! Gerry was hilarious as always and I can’t wait to see him again. Buy tickets and go see him. You won’t regret it.
