His multifaceted career spans legendary stand-up performances at the London Palladium to acclaimed acting roles in the West End production of Art. A BAFTA-nominated presenter for Live at the Apollo, he has become a fixture of television as a team captain on Shooting Stars and through his creative work writing and starring in the sitcoms Lead Balloon and Bad Move.
Beyond the screen, Jack successfully stepped into the role of chairman for the beloved BBC Radio 4 series I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue. His literary contributions include the bestselling autobiography Thanks for Nothing and his humorous advice book What Is Your Problem?
