Building on the bestselling success of The Yuk Yuk’s Guide to Canadian Stand-Up, this new box set will feature tremendous routines from more of Canada’s most hilarious stand-up comedians such as Jessica Holmes and Jon Dore.
The set will also feature the stand-up comics whom Mark Breslin refers to as the “road warriors,” comedians who constantly criss-cross the country perfecting their craft and performing night after night in clubs from coast to coast. They may not all be household names yet, but they deliver some of the funniest material around.
Roger McEwan was lucky to be made redundant from
his corporate career in 2001 when his son was one and his daughter
a small bump. He started a small consulting firm, just himself,
and this allowed him to truly achieve work-life balance, enabling
him to spend many valuable hours with his children as they grew.
His world lurched once again when his children were six and
eight and he found himself a single dad sharing care of his
children with his ex-wife. This book is the result of his journey
as a single dad raising his two wonderful, challenging children.
Roger has a PhD in management and still runs his own
consulting business. Has a part-time role with the local district
health board, is writing a management book with a colleague he met
during his studies, is collecting material for a sequel to this
book, and teaches on the Massey University MBA programme. Most
importantly he is a dad, father, parent, teacher and friend to his
two children now aged 17 and 15.
