Along the way came an amazing break when, not long out of his teens, his one-man show Show Me the Button, I'll Push It. In riveting anecdotal style, Rick charts his rise from highly unpromising schoolboy (in his reports "the word 'disappointment' appeared a fair bit") to the heights of TV fame. For the first time, this most private of public figures has turned the spotlight on himself, in a memoir that's as revealing as it is hilarious. And his legions of fans began asking again: What is Rick Mercer going to do now? Well, for one thing, he's been writing a comic masterpiece.
The answer came not long after, when he roared back in a new role as stand-up-comedian, playing to sold-out houses wherever he appeared.Īnd then Covid-19 struck. What is Rick Mercer going to do now? That was the question on everyone's lips when the beloved comedian retired his hugely successful TV show after 15 seasons - and at the peak of its popularity.
