Stand-out Canadian comic Gerry Dee, best known for his role as a loveable, yet fool-hearted teacher on CBC香蕉视频直播檚 Mr. D, is making a stop in the Okanagan on his latest comedy tour.
Mr. D ran from 2012 to 2018 and won several awards including Best TV Show at the 2013 Canadian Comedy Awards. Dee won Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Comedic Role at the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards.
Now that Mr. D has concluded, Dee is happy to return to his roots on his 20 Years of Stand-up Tour.

Dee香蕉视频直播檚 upcoming tour stops in the Okanagan for one night only March 30 at the Kelowna Community Theatre, part of a country-wide, coast-to-coast tour.
Dee香蕉视频直播檚 happy that the tour includes a spot in one of his favourite spots in the Okanagan.
香蕉视频直播淚 love Kelowna, it has one of the more beautiful sceneries (from the tour), and I love the scenery with just walking around by the mountains and by the water,香蕉视频直播� said Dee.
Dee said that he hopes that he can stay an extra few days in Kelowna to get some potential golf and sight-seeing in, but that the tour and the length of time spent away from his family is something that affects his time spent in the Okanagan.
Almost on cue, the comic joked that the Kelowna weather may make the golf decision for him.
The success from Mr. D and his stint on T.V. has the 2007 Last Comic Standing stand-out not giving up on the potential of more T.V. shows.

In his 20 year career, Dee noticed the changes in the comedy world with the rise of social media and the types of comedy that are still funny, but more respectful.
