From there he decided he wanted to learn the real voice and not just lip-sing. After sitting front row at a Rich Little show in Ottawa, Gordie was incredibly focused and inspired to go after a career just like that. He packed his bags and headed toward the bright lights of Las Vegas. Once in Las Vegas, Gordie was fortunate enough to open for fellow Canadians, Rich Little and Paul Anka. There was no turning back.
Later a move to Los Angeles to begin his career in stand-up comedy where he had his national television debut on A&E’s “Evening at the Improv.” From there Gordie was approached by Harrah’s Corporation to headline his own, one-man show in Reno where he received numerous awards, including “Entertainer of the Year”, “Best Comedian”, “Best Show”, and “Best Entertainer.”
