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.
Amazing show. Great seats. Great venue. Good price ticket. Please come back Gerry Dee
Gerry Dee had us laughing from start to finish. The opening act Mayce Galoni was also very good
Gerry Dee live was fantastic. Laughed the whole time and all new material. Highly recommend his show, this was our third time and we’ll go again! Only downside was the whole first Ontario vs first Ontario concert hall confusion, lucky they are nearby each other and we went early
Great venue to have a comedy show! Gerry Dee is hilarious! He kept the jokes rolling and even bantered with the audience, would go see him again and again!
I dont go to the casinos nor to stand up comedy shows however I bought tickets because of his cleaner than normal stand up comedy image! I didn't bargain for the show opener! Her jokes would have been just as good without the forced expletives.
Gerry Dee was excellent. He kept us laughing and entertained. Have not laughed so hard in a long time. His life experiences that he makes part of his show makes us feel like we are part of it all and so much of his life experiences resemble many of ours. I will surely go back to see him again if he comes back to Hull/Gatineau. I recommend his show to everyone!
We bought tickets to see Gerry Dee without knowing too much about him. Man am I glad we did because he was very entertaining with his real life stories. Don't hesitate...you won't be disappointed. I was literally slapping my knee and laughing so hard I had tears running down my face by the end of his set. We loved it!!
Loved the performance. All the stories were relatable and made me laugh out loud - at times I had a hard time controlling myself…. At one point my husband and I turned to each other and said he (Gerry) was talking about me - lol - I was a Sheila…. (without the 100% grades though). I’d definitely go see him again.
It is all so natural - so funny to look at the way things occur in the real world. A real breath of fresh air. I can also attest (even tho I don't know Gerry personally) he is a good man. He went to see a young man that he did not know because of a severe injury from hockey without knowing the young man before that. How can you beat that!
This was a great evening. The venue was nice though the bar service was slow. Rachelle Elie opened and she was very funny and had a good set. Very interactive with the audience. Gerry Dee was great. A lot of funny stories to share and enjoy. His teaching experience was hilarious to hear and I am sure that most teachers would testify to similar thoughts. His set was great and just flew by. He was good with the audience and connected well. I highly recommend seeing him. I will see him again for sure.
Good show, Gerry Dee is hilarious. Very prompt with transitions between performers. Poor stage decor, haha.
What a great show! Gerry did not disappoint...he kept us laughing the entire time!
What you see is what you get. Gerry Dee is an incredibly talented comedian. On point from the beginning to the end of his set just amazing!
The show was amazing. When I heard Gerry Dee was going on tour I was more than excited. Mr D never disappoints. A must see!
Gerry kept an Ottawa audience at the NAC made up primarily of teachers in stitches with his school-related humour. His delivery and timing were terrific which wasn't a big surprise as 85% of the material that he presented was identical to his last 3 or 4 Ottawa appearances over the past 5 or 6 years. None the less, the audience appeared to love the show.
Gerry was great entertainment and the venue (K-rock centre) was fantastic. Gerry's opening act (Mayce?) was awesome. Gerry is a phenomenal comedian and is always able to personalize his comedy effortlessly. It always feels like he is performing just for you.
Gerry knew what direction he wanted to go but if a turn came up he easily followed that change and brought the best out of that situation
We loved the show! He was so funny! I hope he comes back again soon. I would definitely go again.
This is my third time going to see Gerry Dee and I am so NOT disappointed. It was awesome. So funny and all new material. Love how he gets the audience more involved now. Even got my son and I in on the act. So hilarious. Was money very well spent. Will go and see him a fourth time if he comes back!
I really enjoyed Gerry Dee's show at Club Regent! He was very funny and his interaction with the audience was great! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, and would love to see him again. He came out to the lobby afterwards and was very gracious about meeting some fans and taking photos! Looking forward to a new season of his tv show Mr D. Thanks for a funny evening out!!
