You probably know Gerry Dee from his hit CBC comedy, Mr. D, filmed every summer in Halifax. But you might also know Dee from his appearances on Just for Laughs, NBC's Last Comic Standingand many more. The former teacher turned actor was first a stand-up comic. And on May 27, Dee brings his arena-sized comedy tour back to Halifax. It'll be the only chance to see him in 2016, and tickets go on sale today! On this tour, Dee says, he'll "touch upon marriage, fatherhood, and years as a teacher with trademark humour," also drawing on his experience as the creator, principle writer and star ofMr. D(Season 5 premieres on January 19!). If nothing else, it'll be a chance to reference Vine-meme sensation "deez nuts" for the next six months.
