GERRY DEE: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT

Only on Netflix November 18

Logline: With dry wit, Canadian comic Gerry Dee explores his perilous years as a schoolteacher, the pitfalls of open marriages and the truth about Santa.

About: One of Canada's most beloved personalities, Gerry Dee, is set to make his Netflix stand-up special debut with GERRY DEE: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT, premiering worldwide on November 18. Filmed at Espace St-Denis in Montreal during the Just for Laughs festival, the special showcases Dee's signature observational style honed over two decades on stage.

Dee, who spent nine years as a private school teacher before launching his comedy career, brings a highly relatable hour of comedy that mines the shared experience of middle-age, parenting pitfalls, and navigating the complexities of modern life. The special highlights the authentic voice that first brought him national attention, winning the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition and becoming a finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing.

For global audiences who know him best as the star, co-creator, and showrunner of the hit sitcom Mr. D, or for Canadians who tune in weekly as he hosts Family Feud Canada, the special is a refreshing and unfiltered return to the raw stand-up that started it all. Dee proves that whether he's grading papers or hosting a game show, the world's most frustrating moments are often the funniest.

Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury, Directors, Content - Canada, Netflix shared: "Gerry Dee has an established, highly engaged audience across Canada built on his incredible relatability and his ability to find humour in everyday chaos. His transition from the classroom to the comedy stage is a unique narrative. We are thrilled to partner with Gerry to bring his authentic brand of Canadian comedy to the global Netflix stage this November."

Speaking about the premiere, Gerry Dee says: "To finally have my first Netflix special is truly a highlight of my career. After twenty-five years of stand-up and years on television, there is no bigger platform to share my comedy. The energy of performing in Montreal for Just for Laughs was incredible, and I can't wait for people around the world to see the special."

GERRY DEE: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT launches worldwide, only on Netflix November 18, 2025.
