Gerard used to be the painfully shy and anxious joke-writer for a very well known British comedian until he found himself in the standup spotlight, complete with paralysing fear, wild panic and all the jokes the comedian didn’t buy. The rest, as they say, is history. Except history is usually written by the winners.
The hyperkinetic British-Canadian standup and storyteller invites you to experience the vicarious thrill of telling jokes on stage to tens, hundreds, thousands and then back to tens of people, all without the sleepless nights and crippling self-doubt in this true story about fragile egos, low impulse control and the best worst comedy gig of all time.
