Jack Dee Live And Uncut

Filmed at Londons Gielgud Theatre at the culmination of his 1998 tour Jack Dee Live and Uncut puts the UKs favourite whinger in his elementon a stage performing standup comedy Dee has presence in his orange shirt and tailored blue suit but although hes derogatory about himselfhes a stayathome man hes short hes fathes also unapologetic Dee isnt afraid to throw harsh words at his audience or swear like the proverbial navvy along with an onslaught of observational humour He doesnt go in for surrealism oneliners or complex structural payoffs He prefers to tackle one subject at a time explore it then move on His themes are universal rather than original but he usually brings a fresh perspective Take builders he puts himself at the centre of their Neanderthal attentions rather than women
