Jack Dee

Since ‘The Jack Dee Show’ hit the small screen in February 1992, Jack Dee has become a household name.

Born in Petts Wood and brought up in a family with a history of musical entertainers and mental illness, he left a Winchester comprehensive to start a career in catering.

Realising his dour persona got more laughs than respect in the restaurant business; he followed up the advice of numerous colleagues and customers and took to the boards. That was in 1988 and Jack Dee has not looked back since.
