Autorenporträt
Marcel Strigberger, a native of Montreal, is a humorist trapped inside the body of a former litigation lawyer. A frequent contributor to national newspapers, radio and TV programs, Marcel is the author of Birth, Death and Other Trivialities: A Humorous Philosophical Look at the Human Condition. His most recent opus is a book entitled, Poutine on the Orient Express: An Irreverent Look at Travel.Marcel worked his way through law school as a professional sightseeing tour guide in Montreal before hitting the circuit as a stand up comedian in Toronto, sharing the stage with the likes of Howie Mandel, Bob Saget and Jim Carrey. For years he combined his irreverent humour with law, resulting in a fresh, upbeat and novel approach to the world of justice. Marcel Strigberger is uniquely qualified to deal with life's so called serious issues in a whimsical and entertaining manner. And he's a lot more fun to read and to listen to than Rene Descartes, Jean Paul Sartre or Leo Tolstoy. Well, maybe not Tolstoy.
