Jack Dee

Jack Dee brought his jaded sense of humour and purposely unenthusiastic attitude to all topics of conversation – from the Olympics, to his on-the-road lifestyle, leaving his wife and four teenagers at home, not hearing from them a few days at a time, and drinking the hotel minibar dry. Perfect of course. Continuing with his dry tone, Jack’s drollest idea was an app that says ‘so what?’ during conversation with neighbours or strangers who make idle chit chat. Jack ended his show playing a small guitar he’d bought off eBay and singing under the influence of fifteenth century folk. Jack was certainly his usual self: grumpy and cynical, but that’s what makes him entertaining.
