Stand-up show in which Jack Dee gathers his favourite old stories and best-loved jokes to mark 40 years in comedy.
Jack Dee brings his latest show, Jack's Joke Show, to the Derby Theatre on Wednesday 24 March 2027. It's a stand-up night in the Main House, and the timing is the whole point: Dee is marking 40 years in comedy, and he's spent this one looking back rather than forward.
Instead of a new set of material, he's gathered his favourite old stories and best-loved jokes into a single show. He bills it as a comedic memoir, and it does more than just run through the hits; it sets out the influences that led him to the stage and shaped his career over those four decades. He's also quite explicit about what you won't get: he guarantees no new material, just his tried-and-tested comedy at its finest. If you've followed him for years, it's a chance to hear the bits you remember; if you're coming to him for the first time, it's a proper introduction to the work he's built his reputation on.

It's a full evening's run, an hour and 40 minutes including the interval, so it's a bit longer than your standard hour of stand-up. The age guidance is 14+, and the show starts at 7:30pm at the Derby Theatre, 15 Theatre Walk, St Peter's Quarter, DE1 2NF. Standard tickets are £35.50.
