Gare Joyce joins Jimmer Lowe for an Episode of Q'd Up.

Gare Joyce would claim the title of eminence grise of the open-mic scene if he had more grey hair. He won an amateur contest in college back in ’83 and got to open for Yuk Yuk’s comics at a crappy bar where he worked the door. He’s been doing stand-up since 2015, mostly in Toronto, though he’ll drop a set in clubs in U.S. cities when he’s travelling for work—a sportswriter, he has been on the staff of the Globe and Mail, ESPN and, for the last nine years, Sportsnet. His words have also appeared on the pages of the New York Times and, way back, Canadian Hairdresser. He has published 11 books of non-fiction, along with a few short stories and novels, including The Code, which was adapted for the TV series Private Eyes starring Jason Priestley. You’d just never know to look at him.
