Stand-up show by Jack Dee marking 40 years in comedy, a memoir of his favourite old stories, on his UK tour.
Jack Dee is coming to the Belgrade Theatre on Thursday 25 March 2027, part of a UK tour that marks 40 years in stand-up. The show is called Jack's Joke Show, and it's a bit different from the usual new-material run. Dee describes it as a memoir of his favourite old stories, put together from the jokes and anecdotes that have intrigued him for as long as he can remember. He's open about what that means: he guarantees no new material. Instead, it's a look at the influences that led him into comedy and helped shape his career, told through the stories he's kept hold of over four decades.
There's a fair bit of ground to cover. Dee was born in Petts Wood to a family with a history of musical entertainers and mental illness, and he started out moonlighting on the comedy circuit while working as a waiter, building his following on a dour persona. He's been a household name since The Jack Dee Show launched in 1992, and since then he's picked up handfuls of awards, starred in the John Smith's Bitter adverts, and trodden the West End boards in the award-winning play Art. This show pulls from that long stretch, the early days in the clubs and the years that followed.
