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 approach to the world of justice. With Poutine on the Orient Express, Marcel brings joy and laughter to travellers everywhere. 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 or Jean Paul Sartre.
