Summary:
"In a hilarious collection of comedic essays, Canada's top comic shares the funniest stories from his life and career. For nearly two decades, Gerry Dee has made audiences laugh, first as a hard-working stand-up comedian and then as the star of his own CBC television program, Mr. D. The former varsity hockey player and gym teacher has drawn from a lifetime of material, from growing up in the suburbs of Toronto to getting cut from his hockey team to becoming a physical education teacher and living what he figured would be the high life: summers off, short hours, great pay. Dee found in teaching an avocation, experiences, and adversity he never expected and hung on for the ride. Then one day, after years of dreaming of a career change to comedy, he turned in his whistle for a microphone and became one of Canada's top comics. He fought his way to the to after years of being told he just wasn't funny enough and that he had no chance. In his new book of comedic essays, Dee writes about the funniest moments in his life, whether stories of his childhood, becoming a father, starring in his own TV show, on the road in dank clubs as a stand-up comedian, behind the scenes at Last Comic Standing and Mr. D, and everywhere in between. As Johnny Cash once sang, 'I've been everywhere, man,' and the same is true for Gerry Dee, who's just about seen it all. He shares his choicest anecdotes in this new book of comedic essays for his legion of fans."--From publisher.
