There is only one Mike Myers and he will be in Halifax next week to promote his first book Mike Myers Canada.

Myers' book is part memoir and part examination of what makes Canada the country that it is, according to the website set up by his publisher Penguin Random House Canada.

Toronto-born Myers help set the tone of comedy for an entire generation, creating beloved characters like long-haired community access rocker Wayne Campbell, international man of mystery Austin Powers and the grumpy but loveable ogre Shrek.

In the 90s and early 2000s, it seemed like every concept he dreamed up became a hit. His movies earned millions in theatres and his pithy one liners seeped into people's everyday speech.

He made sayings like "We're not worthy", "Shagadelic" and "Yeah Baby" commonplace, at least for a while.

Myers will be at the Costco in Bayers Lake on Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. to promote the book. This appears to be Myers' only Atlantic Canadian stop.

Canadian made

Born in Scarborough, Ont., Myers made a name for himself when he headed south of the border and began working on Saturday Night Live.

Even as his star was on the rise in the United States, Myers never forgot where he hailed from, sneaking in references to Canada into his comedy. His character Wayne loved hockey and the financial and critical flop The Love Guru featured the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Myers will also be promoting his book in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary.
