Feb. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- In addition to being a country of polite people, hockey players and the origin of cold fronts, Canada exports some very funny people to the US and to the world. Celebrities like Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of Saturday Night Live, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Jim Carrey, Michael J Fox, Eugene Levy, Martin Short and Dave Thomas are just some of the many well known examples.

The latest in that tradition is Steve Pitt, a Toronto based humorist whose stories have been compared to those of David Sedaris and Bob Newhart.

A sampling of the five star reviews of his latest work on the Canadian Amazon website states:

"Pitt's humour is at times subtle, and at others glaringly obvious. His ability to shape words and expressions is masterful. The stories will stick you with but you'll want to read them again, and share with friends."

"Steve Pitt is a truly gifted humour writer, the kind who comes along only once in a generation, perhaps once in a century."

"This book is laugh until you snort, guffaw and hoot out loud funny."

According to the US review on Blog Critics:

"The writing is reminiscent of other notable (mainly American) raconteurs, although there is a distinctly Canadian perspective that adds a certain sense of the foreign and exotic to this collection of worldly observations — or would, if Canada was considered foreign and escargot was considered exotic. Pitt displays an ability to weave wit, humor and nostalgia into artful story-telling similar to the works of Garrison Keillor, the celebrated author of Lake Wobegone Days, and Jean Shepherd whose collected anecdotes eventually became the holiday classic A Christmas Story."

If you need a laugh (and who doesn't these days) then try a sample of Steve's humour.
