His debut novel is \u201cHuge,\u201d and it is indeed a huge bestseller. \n\nSet in 1994, the darkly comedic psychological thriller follows a trio of comics on a tour put together by a shady Winnipeg-based comedy booker, through small-town Manitoba and Ontario. The situation goes from bad to worse to downright frightening and violent as they try and get off the road in one piece. \n\nThen, we\u2019ll meet Canada's sharpest and funniest political satirist, Rick Mercer. His latest project is a book titled \u201cThe Road Years: A Memoir, Continued\u2026\u201d It\u2019s a look at the his wildly popular show The Mercer Report, it\u2019s beginnings, it\u2019s end and everything in between, including Every living prime minister. Rock and roll royalty from Rush to Randy Bachman. Olympians and Paralympians. A skinny-dipping Bob Rae. And Jann Arden, of course, who gets a chapter to herself.
