Aldeburgh Comedy Weekend: Jack Dee - Jack's Joke Show

Jack's dry humour and deadpan delivery have delighted us for thirty-five years.

His tv career began in 1991 with Channel 4's The Jack Dee Show and he's gone on to feature in many acclaimed tv comedies, including the BBC2 sitcom Lead Balloon (which he co-wrote) and the hit ITV Show, Bad Move.

In 2004, he was nominated for a BAFTA for Jack Dee Live At The Apollo.

Five years later, he replaced Humphrey Lyttelton as chairman of the much-loved Radio 4 'antidote to panel games', I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, so he's now well on his way to being a National Treasure. (He's still too young.) He also hosted the hugely popular The Apprentice: You're Hired, and The Apprentice: You're Fired (BBC2).

We're thrilled we've hired him to launch our Comedy Weekend.

In the first half, he'll do stand-up, then after the interval he'll give us a generous taster from his new show, Jack's Joke Show.

Jokes and funny anecdotes have intrigued him for as long as he can remember, so he'll be sharing the influences that have shaped his comedy career.

It's a nostalgic treat he promotes with the unforgettable selling point: 'Guaranteed no new material'.Approximate finishing time: 8.40pm
