COMEDY’S Mister Misery, Jack Dee, has picked Wimborne for a special warm-up date to get him in the mood for a national tour. Jack brings his acid world view to the Tivoli Theatre on Tuesday, April 11, for a show to road-test his new material.

After a six year absence from stand-up, he’s back, agonizing over the slightest of annoyances and misdemeanours.

Why is he touring again? “I want to spend less time with my family,” says Jack.

Where’s he been? Appearing on shows like QI and Never Mind The Buzzcocks, 8 out of 10 Cats and Have I Got News For You, Not to mention co-writing and starring in four series of BBC 2 sitcom Lead Balloon and writing his memoirs, Thanks For Nothing, which he modestly dedicated to himself -“Without whom none of this would have been possible”.
