Beloved British Comedian Jack Dee Overcomes Performance Phobia

TV Comeback and New Tour Announced

A beloved British comedian is making a TV comeback with a brand new tour as he overcomes his 'phobia' of performing. Jack Dee will be back on the small screen when he joins Taskmaster for its brand new series.

Taskmaster Appearance and Tour Details

Jack Dee, the funnyman, 62, has revealed bosses have been asking him to appear on the hit show for years now, but it's not been feasible - until now. One task given to Jack saw him stare down the barrel of a camera lens without laughing, but he admitted he found the challenges tricky. Jack will also be hitting the road with his tour titled Small World, focusing on minutiae and silliness without a specific theme.

Overcoming Nerves and Tour Dates

Jack has had to overcome nerves of getting on stage by pushing himself to stay 'on the saddle'. His tour will kick off on November 12th in Loughborough, with hopes of extending the shows to Australia. Taskmaster returns to Channel 4 on Thursday, September 12th at 9 pm.
