If you live in Canada, watch out for this guy live or on tv. He is funny. I just watched him on CTV - on-stage for an hour - and he is funny and unforced and real. At the end he seemed fresh enough for another hour and I would have happily sat through it.
He's not big on tech though so the best of a web site I could find doesn't work properly. Therefore I think I'm doing him a favour by reproducing the essentials of the page right here. I'm sure he wouldn't notice anyway because he claims to keep all his documents backed up in a big cardboard box, complete with live mouse that once had a virus but is OK now. And, if you're his agent (seems unlikely), tell me where I can watch some of his stuff online and I'll take this down and replace it with a link (not the one at the end of this piece).
Kerry Unger is really good at stand up comedy. Therefore, he doesn't need to pen a ridiculously exaggerated biography about how great he is and how he's sure to accomplish incredible things and become a mega-star. Blah blah blah. That's what they all say. Kerry doesn't need to resort to all that nonsense. He's down to earth. He can admit that he is a poorly-dressed slacker that sleeps past eleven most days. The important thing is, he's funny. He's willing to concede that he is, in many respects, quite a bone-head. He can't "schmooze" to save his life, can't "network" at all; heck, he hardly ever even answers his phone. Yet put the guy on a stage and he's a hoot. He's also quite handsome, in a goofball sort of way.
Kerry Unger has quite a list of credits to his credit (You should hope so after doing comedy for nearly a decade). He has appeared at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal (who hasn't?), he's been on the Mike Bullard Show (some other guest cancelled), and he's written for and starred on a bunch of low budget, Canadian programs that nobody ever watched (have you even heard of Gutterball Alley?). He's also been featured in Reader's Digest (For his comedy, not because he was trapped under a tractor for three days, although that happened too). Kerry has toured all over Canada back and forth about a zillion times.
To sum up, if you're the kind of human who likes hyped up, repetitive, top 40 comedy, check out those wacky sitcoms. If, however, you want to laugh like hell at some really funny jokes, take a look at Kerry Unger, the irreverent, unpretentious, lanky tower of hilarity!
