Filmed at London�s Gielgud Theatre at the culmination of his 1998 tour, Jack Dee Live and Uncut puts the UK�s favourite �whinger� in his element-on a stage performing stand-up comedy. Dee has presence in his orange shirt and tailored blue suit, but although he�s derogatory about himself-he�s a stay-at-home man, he�s short, he�s fat-he�s also unapologetic. Dee isn�t afraid to throw harsh words at his audience or swear like the proverbial navvy along with an onslaught of observational humour. He doesn�t go in for surrealism, one-liners 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.
