Testimonials
"He is relaxed, funny and obviously enjoying
himself. His easy laughter seduces the audience and his edgy, slightly dangerous
commentary creates the necessary dynamic that a stand up must have with his
audience."
Winnipeg Free Press
"On the evening of the performance, we found Gerry to not only be punctual,
professional and naturally funny, but we also found him to be highly in tune to
the likes and dislikes of the audience. His uncanny ability to read what makes
an audience laugh, allowed him to gear his demeanor and material towards the
audience, thus bringing him great success throughout the entire performance."
