James Andrew Innes Dee (born 24 September 1961), known professionally as Jack Dee, is an English stand-up comedian, actor, presenter, and writer known for his sarcasm, irony, and deadpan humour. He wrote and starred in the sitcom Lead Balloon and hosts the panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
Jack Dee is the youngest of three children born to Rosemary (née Stamper) and Geoffrey Dee. He was born in the Municipal Borough of Bromley, Kent (now within the London Borough of Bromley) and grew up in Petts Wood before moving with his family to Winchester. His father was a printer, and his mother was the daughter of repertory actors Henry Lionel Pope Stamper and Edna May Howard Innes.
Dee was educated at both private and state schools, including The Pilgrims' School in Winchester and Montgomery of Alamein School for his secondary education. He attended Peter Symonds' College, where he left with A-level grades of D and F. Initially planning to attend drama college, Dee entered the catering industry instead and became a waiter.
Jack Dee's first public performance was an open-mic gig in 1986 at The Comedy Store. Encouraged to write more material, he soon toured the comedy circuit, performing sell-out acts at high-profile venues like the London Palladium and the Hammersmith Apollo. In 1991, Dee won the British Comedy Award for Best Stage Newcomer, leading to his first show, The Jack Dee Show on Channel 4 in 1992.
His television career continued with Jack Dee's Saturday Night on ITV, Jack Dee's Happy Hour, and later Jack Dee Live at the Apollo on BBC One. In 1996, he starred alongside Jeremy Hardy in Jack and Jeremy's Real Lives. Dee has also made guest appearances on various TV shows, including Silent Witness, Dalziel and Pascoe, and Jonathan Creek.
In 2001, Dee won the first series of Celebrity Big Brother. He later expressed his dislike for the treatment of housemates and refused permission for clips to be shown again. Dee has also appeared in dramatic roles, such as Steven Sharples MP in The Deputy (2004) and starred in the one-off drama Tunnel of Love.
Dee co-hosted Comic Aid in 2005, appeared on Top Gear, and co-wrote and starred in Lead Balloon, which premiered on BBC Four in 2006. He became a permanent host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue from the 52nd series onwards and is a frequent guest on QI and Have I Got News for You. Dee starred in advertisements for John Smith's Bitter in the 1990s and made his stage debut in Yasmina Reza's award-winning play Art.
In 2008, Dee took part in the 15th anniversary special of Shooting Stars and continued as team captain in subsequent series. He also played John Tweedledum in The News at Bedtime and participated in Channel 4's Comedy Gala in 2010. In 2013, Dee joined other celebrities in Through Hell and High Water, a Comic Relief challenge on the Zambezi River, raising over £1 million.
In 2017, Dee co-wrote and starred in Bad Move, a sitcom about a middle-aged couple's rural misadventures, with a second series broadcast in 2018.
