Jack Dee - arguably the best stand up and briefly TV sitcom comedian in the U.K. I went to see him in a room above a pub in south west London back in the mid eighties. He was absolutely brilliant. Jack has honestly grafted his way through the tough gigs over the years to where he deservedly is today.
In his autobiography he says, someone pointed out how funny he is. When he was working in restaurants. Because he would look really serious. He claims he didn’t realise.
What violent contempt? It's simply that he's long winded, pretty boring and not particularly funny. I endured 19 minutes of this, and gave up waiting for something amusing.
@@johncoops6897 jimmy carr used to be good, but now he relies on the shock factor too much, and its usually just a 1 liner like hes reading from a list
When I had a prostate exam my doctor asked me "Who do you think dislikes this more; you, who needn't do it again for 5 years, or me, who will probably do it again next week?"
I have been refraining from posting comments off late but I feel compelled to acknowledge just how good Jack Dee is. He is a brilliant comedian and to be able to be one, you have to be a genuinely talented person. He is definitely up there with the very best.
There's a reason he was chosen to be compere for the very earliest seasons of the BBC's "Live at the Apollo". The audience is putty in his hands. He's cynic in all of us, but able to laugh at himself.
Jack Dee - Live At The Apollo (2002) 29.11.23 2027pm computer conscious wanking!!! can't say i do... might give it a try, though.... sounds like something the hep young cats do. i mean..... i mean.... jack's the kindda guy who would never notice he'd been deserted. those are the kindda people who get by and maybe even succeed in gettin' one over on their fellow compatriots without even trying... he's washed dishes in a poxy cafe he' ok by me...
His initial walk on introduction gave late arrivals, & certain members of the audience time to heckle, but Jack quickly bull whipped them to shut the hell up. Once he told his observational stories, which came thick & fast, hecklers couldn't get a word in. Certain aspects of his gig time stamped the era i.e Marathon chocolate bars became Snickers, Jif cleaner became Cif. / I liked Jack in Josh Widdicombe's sitcom called " Josh " available on Y.T Jack plays Josh's landlord. Beattie Edmondson is the daughter of Ad Edmondson & Jennifer Saunders. Well worth watching.
Ive' tried out a lot of stand comic's 'but jack is ( I'm respectful enough to say "in my opinion ") extremely funny and very talented ' I'm very prepared to say the best I've ever seen. I think he leaves the rest for dead.
Jack Dee - Live At The Apollo (2002) 29.11.23 2039pm he's a lot more chipper than the earlier days.... and you seem to have seen him in his very early forays into stand up - if it was jack dee you saw play.... or stand up? anyone eating pasta at the moment? kindda put me right off...
It's comedy,not to be taken seriously.This man has facets.He cannot be worried about the future.All he really has to do is keep breathing.The genius pours out of him with an ease that is otherworldly!
Jack Dee - Live At The Apollo (2002). 29.11.23. - where did you have your cardiac arrest? - pizza express. frightfully good... o, yes.... - Crabtree avenue....
His style came about because his happy chirpy original false style wasnt working early on, he got dispondent and nearly gave up but honoured his last few gigs and just went out and did them in his normal grumpy old self and he got loads more laughs so he stuck with it.
He’s my very Favourite comedian, I was just a 14 year old pup when he started getting on the telly, back then he I hadn’t heard anyone as funny, I’m from Belfast, we have our own dark humour and Jack just nails everything I find funny about life, I swear if he told me my dog was dead I’d laugh 😂
Just discovered this great comic watching an old top gear ep (s6e3) Glad I did. Genuinely brilliant! Makes me wonder.. How is Gervais more famous than him?
Because they're just Comedians/ Stand Ups, they don't also Write, Direct, and Produce Hit T.V. Shows!? Jim Norton is funnier than Ricky.............no one knows who the fuck he is! (a few fans do, and he's perverted as fuck)
one off haha more like a toss off, is he supposed to be funny, the moron audiance almost wet themselves every tim he swears, so funny hes a lucky man if hes earning good money to stand there talking rubbish,
This made me feel old. However, I have never laughed so much in my entire life!!(well maybe once in primary school, but that did not involve Jack Dee.)
OMG - clackers!! LMAO!! They would always smack you in the elbow and disable you for awhile! Especially after a few good clacks! You'd see it happen to friends and feel their pain. OMG *crying laughing*
This was from 2002, it's now 2022 and it's still funny. As I'm from the States, I've only recently heard of him from seeing him on the panel shows. This is the first of his stand-up I've seen. I'll have to see more. Not as funny as Sean Lock, but funnier than Jon Richardson. ;-) Not as funny as Dara O Briain, but funnier than Josh Widdicombe. I will say, watching British panel shows has introduced me to some great comics: Sarah Millican, Dara O Briain, and others.
Forty years (ish) of treading the boards here in the uk and still a personal favourite of mine. Still a fan. Something gratifying about folks thousands of miles away “discovering” him. I didn’t discover Bill Hicks until more than a decade after he’d passed away which was bitter sweet tbh. There’s so much stand up of Jack out there. You’ve probably found it all by now.
It's subjective I suppose, I think Jack is brilliant, the late Sean Lock was fantastic ( RIP Sean, greatly missed ) , I like Jon Richardson as a person but don't find him that funny ( personally ) , although he's good on the panel shows. Dara is very good, look up the VR video gaming sketch, so funny!! Josh Widdecombe ? don't find him funny at all, no offence to anyone that does, saying that, loved his sitcom JOSH , Jack Dee played his landlord in that, Beattie Edmondson is in it as one of Josh's flat mates with the pretty funny welsh comic, Elis James. Cheers
Jack Dee - Live At The Apollo (2002). 29.11.23. St Andrew's day tomorrow, isn't it??? I wouldn't min revisiting the years when I was having fun.....imperialism might crop up within that....
Hilarious as ever but interestingly everything he mentions has gone full circle! Internet shopping is major, computers do actually run everything now and passports are blue again!
They aren't "slush puppies ", they are "HUSH PUPPIES ". Hush puppies are cute and delicious. Usually expensive clothing has an extra button, so if you lose one you don't have to buy a whole shirt.
A Slush Puppy is the trade name of a soft drink made with crushed ice and dispensed from a machine. It is available in various flavours, and is normally to be found in fast food restaurants and filling stations. Hush Puppies are a brand of shoe. I would hazard a guess that the Slush Puppy people thought they'd capitalise on the well-known name of the Hush Puppy brand.

I was there .. Great to see it all again
This is my fave Jack Dee stand up. Still in tears watching this today 🤣🤣 and his working from home prediction is now chilling....

Arguably? He created stand up. Love him ❤️
Saw him recently in a pub in sw London. He was priceless. He must have a tour soon.
Never ever take this off youtube - classic !!!
simple people love simple things - innit
40:25 "we'd be working from home" Just wait 20 years Jack... And here we are.
27p for a first class stamp, those were the days. Bloody £1.10p now.
I watched this 21 years ago and have seen it a few times since and it's still as funny as ever. Love the computer stuff and the Tomorrow's world bits.
Love this dude he's the best of british comedy, so dead pan !!!
Got to love Jack Dee
Just imagine if politicians were just half as intelligent as Jack Dee, what a wonderful world this would be.
is he supposed to be funny, my god the uadiance must be insane to pay to watch that crap
@@jackflash743 that dumb uadience, right?

Me too - and I don't think his humour dates either. IMO that is.

Hi
He also got his Tomorrows World wish, Working from home?
Dry? I'm pretty sure he was still drinking at this time.
Dry... 🤢
Pissed myself laughing how can that be dry .....😡.....
He's got an overwhelming amount of violent contempt radiating from him but for all that he's somehow very likeable. 😂
In his autobiography he says, someone pointed out how funny he is. When he was working in restaurants. Because he would look really serious. He claims he didn’t realise.

@SNAFU - I guess you are correct. They aren't very funny jokes, but they certainly aren't violent or contemptuous.
@SNAFU - I'd much rather watch Jimmy Carr. At least he keeps it moving along.

To be a good comedian you have to be clever, which Jack Dee is.
Thank you for uploading it.. Made my evening.. Jack dee is sooo good !
too many adverts
Thank you for uploading this show. I love grumpy old men with brains. Brilliant show👏👍
Old? Jack, here? Damn you.
loved every minute of it , funnier than anything on tv at the mo! especially the computer bits, and internet stuff! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Jack Dee !
That bit about the kebab in your own house and hurling abuse and the food is fuckin' hilarious!
Absolutely hysterical 🤣 😆 😂
Saw him in '92 at a student union gig, and going to see him next October. I'm expecting him to be just as miserable and just as funny.

Brilliant, i liked the notebook for audience questions ….I’d never seen that done before.
I remember he had a number to text questions/comments to during the interval when he performed in Aberdeen a few years back.
Incredible throughout!😂😂😂😂😂😂
most excellent

One of the greats

Wow, been so long since I saw any Jack Dee standup. He was my favorite comedian back in the 90s because he’s so cynical.
he's touring this year,im seeing him In april
I love British humour.
From Rowan Atkinson, to Benny Hill, to Rebel Wilson, to Eddie Izzard. Now Jack Dee! He's hilarious!
@@williammason9789 Rebel Wilson is not British

Brilliant stuff ..
Still amazing
Very. Funny. Man. Love his. Sense. Of. Humour.
Have. you. tried. not. being. er. bad. at. writing?
Brilliant !!
Forgot how good he was used to watch his channel 4 show back in the day class
Ta bud. Really enjoyed
Just discovered this great comic watching an old top gear ep (s6e3)
Glad I did. Genuinely brilliant! Makes me wonder.. How is Gervais more famous than him?
I would hazard greater exposure through more projects...
Probably must be. Still, I think Jack's a way funnier comedian, however less marketable.
To be honest I think there are a LOT of comedians who are funnier than Ricky. Not saying he's shit or anything, but there are those who are better.
Docentino , you would enjoy his sitcom, Lead Balloon. 😊
Because they're just Comedians/ Stand Ups, they don't also Write, Direct, and Produce Hit T.V. Shows!?
Jim Norton is funnier than Ricky.............no one knows who the fuck he is! (a few fans do, and he's perverted as fuck)
Wicked. Practically pissed myself.
Great. Show. X
Great performance.
I love moody humor
I love him
thank you
Classic Jack. A true one-off.
Jack one off.
one off haha more like a toss off, is he supposed to be funny, the moron audiance almost wet themselves every tim he swears, so funny hes a lucky man if hes earning good money to stand there talking rubbish,
I'm from the US and so I don't know all of the background of some of the jokes he said but he was definitely very funny...
This made me feel old. However, I have never laughed so much in my entire life!!(well maybe once in primary school, but that did not involve Jack Dee.)
What did it involve?
What made you feel old?
20 years later it's still jiff here in Oz
Here in 2023 I feel the same
Lovely!!!
'I swallowed a Spanner 🔧 "
"Yeah.. you are what you eat."
the Rolf Harris and WTF bits havent aged to well, however its all as sharp and funny as every. Love his deadpan delivery
The bit about the Slimmer of the Year (you never seen them defend their title) I could barely breathe from laughing...
I didn't realise he started the Live at the Apollo...well done !!
Yes, it's his baby
Writing pads: pre-texts: pre history any day now
If you close your eyes and listen to him you can picture the Geico lizard finally going postal.
The Lead Balloon episode...I eat buns! 🤣
OMG - clackers!! LMAO!! They would always smack you in the elbow and disable you for awhile! Especially after a few good clacks! You'd see it happen to friends and feel their pain. OMG *crying laughing*

Compare this with Jimmy Carr who is funny but the nonstop stream of sex jokes become smut. Jack Dee's material is the whole of life.
It didn't stop Jack appearing in Jimmy's show, did it.
