Funny You Should Say That

In this new book Gerry Dee has written essays about his life—being a kid in suburban Toronto, becoming a father, starring in his own TV show, going on the road to comedy clubs across Canada and the US. He takes us behind the scenes of Last Comic Standing, Mr. D and everywhere in between. There was the time he set up his own DVD-signing appearances, only to have no one show up. Or the time he was flown to the Bahamas, where he performed for drunken fishermen and their “nieces.” And he shares his lifelong affliction with hypochondria and all the medical conditions he doesn’t have. This is Gerry Dee at his comedic finest.

Teaching: It's Harder Than It Looks
Gerry spent ten years as a teacher and survived (barely) to tell his tales. Told from the point-of-view of a not-so-good, often-very-bad public school teacher-the kind who teaches hungover (and lies about it), loses his students' exams (and lies about it), and stages an impromptu baseball game in the middle of history class just to kill some time, this is Mr. D at his best. In this book Gerry Dee offers some of his funniest anecdotes about teaching, about students and about their parents. As Gerry's ode to school life, it's sure to bring back a memory or two, whether you were the teacher’s pet or the class clown.
