Jack Dee is a very funny man. His show Lead Balloon is so depressingly-funny that you almost believe someone so tragic really exists.

[benjiimaster]

So glad he didnt, one of the best comedians i've ever heard!

[Mattelliott1234]

FUCK OFF

[sofaguard]

Best stand up ever

[alanna4858]

[Cloudgauntlet]

Jack Dee is awesome! ^_^

I love this video, I like seeing how comedians really are, compared to their onstage personas.

Are you on crack son?

I mean I realise that someone with your opinions is probably a fan of Tim Vine, Jeff Green and the like, but you are now wandering into the lunatic section....please just give it a rest. Breathing, I mean.

Now that's a fucking joke, you diseased oxygen-thief.

[superiourcowies]

Yeah and I can lick my elbow.Really, I can, Most people can't do that.

Perhaps the BBC should commision me for it, eh? It would be at LEAST equally entertaining.

Or perhaps, if they'er not fond of elbow licking, they could get you on to do a bit of arse licking. Dee's arse licking. Jack ass licking infact. Ohohoh. I should try selling one that to Dee. he might even get a laugh. Lordy, now ive got BBC and MTV are shitting themselves.

Why dont you get some fresh air.

Oh, and he's won the following awards, among others:

British Comedy Award for Best Stage Newcomer

Perrier Comedy Award

British Comedy Award for Best Stand-up Comedian

BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance

Basically, all the major stand-up awards you can win.

And Serafinowicz?

I think my point is made....

[maureenOWW]

His TV show (The Jack Dee Show) from the 90's was probably the best televised stand-up ever produced.

Clearly, you haven't a clue, because you have as a favourite vid 'The Peter Serafinowicz Show' - now THERES a talentless fuckbag - his greatest comedic achievement is voicing Darth Maul.

[englander1971]

Yeah the boy sure knows how to chow down, perhaps he went to america and got addicted to triple "CHE-BUGGAS"!

[maximocris]

hes a better comedian than most comedians here in the US :( sad but true
