Information for Jack Dee - Small World at Playhouse, Salisbury (Comedy). Born in Petts Wood, Jack Dee comes from a family with a history of musical entertainers and mental illness. Working as a waiter, he began moonlighting on the comedy circuit, raising laughs with his dour persona. The rest, as they say, is history. A household name since the launch of the Jack Dee Show in 1992, he's won handfuls of awards and featured in ads for John Smith's Bitter and trodden the boards in the West End in the award-winning play Art. CULTURE WARS, THE ENVIRONMENT, BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY and SOCIAL JUSTICE are just a few of the topics that Jack spectacularly fails to address (or even mention for that matter) in his brand new show. Instead, for reasons known only to him, he doubles down on his fascination with the meaningless small things of life like Zoom protocol, what's new in the world of radiators and the worst careers advice office in the world.
