Hire Jack Dee
Since The Jack Dee Show hit the small screen in February 1992, Jack 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 1986 and Jack has not looked back since.
