Jack Dee Biography
Topics:
- Comedy
Jack Dee is an immense presence to have compering or delivering a comedy stand up or after dinner set at any corporate event.
Onstage Jack is never less than triumphant...there are few comedians who can sustain this rage, but he keeps the bile rolling and turns grumpiness into an art form. The Evening Standard.
Now established as one of Britain's well loved and biggest comedy stars, Jack Dee has captured the imagination of audiences and critics with his dry humour and dead pan delivery. He’s won three British Comedy Awards and was nominated for Best Entertainment Performer at the 2005 BAFTAs.
In the beginning...
Jack Dee's stand up career began in 1986 when he delivered his first open mike spot at the world famous London Comedy Store. Like most established comedians it wasn't until 1991 that he got his first big break by being nominated for the Edinburgh Festival Perrier Award and wining the British Comedy Award for Best Comedy Newcomer.
Saturday Night and Sunday Service
In 1992 Jack hosted the critically acclaimed The Jack Dee Show on Channel 4 which went on to run for two series. He then moved to ITV where he hosted Jack Dee's Saturday Night (1995) and Jack Dee's Sunday Service (1997). By 2000 he had moved to BBC1 and presented two series of Jack Dee's Happy Hour.
In 2004 Jack hosted Jack Dee Live at the Apollo (BAFTA nominated) which was quickly followed by a second series in 2005. In 2006 Jack teamed up with Pete Sinclair to write the critically acclaimed sitcom Lead Balloon for BBC4. Rave reviews and record ratings saw the series repeated on BBC2 that same year and was quickly followed by a further series of 8 episodes in 2007. Series 3 and a Christmas Special are currently being recorded in London for transmission in Autumn 2008 on BBC2.
