When Joel Jeffrey started his stand-up comedy career, he never dreamed it would lead to becoming a best-selling published author. Joel always wanted to be a comedian, but penning a best-selling book was never on his radar. However life is full of twists and turns. In 2019 while on the road on a comedy tour in British Columbia, Joel received a pitch email from MacIntyre Purcell Publishers in Halifax and requesting he write a book for them.

​

At first Joel thought it must be spam or someone phishing to steal his identity, but after a short phone call with the editors at MacIntyre Purcell he realized the email was very real and that his life was about to change. MacIntyre Purcell had happened upon Joel's material on Youtube and decided that he was the perfect guy to write a joke book about Saskatchewan.

​

Joel signed the publishing contract and the rest is history. Thanks to a his massive passion for our province,  and his razor sharp sense of humour, Joel's book "The Great Saskatchewan Joke Book" went on to be a #1 best seller in Sask and made the top #25 best selling humour books on Amazon Canada.
