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.
Gerry Dee
Award-Winning Canadian Comedian | Host, CBC's Family Feud Canada
Canadian comedian Gerry Dee is one of the funniest people to hit the comedy scene — ever. The creator, writer, and star of the smash hit CBC comedy series Mr. D, his signature stories about the absurdities of life at the front of the classroom and growing up the son of Scottish-immigrant parents have become famous to his fans.
In real life, Dee was a high school teacher — teaching was his career until switching to full-time comedy in 2003. Accordingly, he bases many of the jokes and quips seen on Mr. D on his personal experiences.
Mr. D aired its final episode in 2018 after eight successful seasons. Today, Dee is the host of CBC’s Family Feud Canada, which premiered in December 2019.
In addition to his television work, Gerry Dee has also appeared at numerous comedy festivals, was named “Best Comic in Canada,” and finished third on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2008. He is also the author of the book, Teaching: It’s Harder Than It Looks.

Gerry Dee has a teacher's insight into the rewards, challenges, and sometimes absurdities of life at the front of the classroom. His humourous take on educational life was just exactly what the teachers at our conference needed. They were in stitches the whole time.
