What is Your Problem?: Comedy's little ray of sleet grapples with life's major dilemmas

Description

'So funny, and so wise. Just like the man himself' Richard Osman 'I inhaled it. HILARIOUS. So sharp - it really made me laugh' Katherine Ryan ''Morally bankrupt . . . Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a Zoom call' Jo Brand Jack Dee is here to help. Too often today the emphasis in psychotherapy is on providing clients with a metaphorical hug when what they so clearly need is good slap, so Jack Dee took the matter into his own hands and whilst everyone else was baking bread and clearing out their cupboards during lockdown, he retrained online as a psychotherapist. After an incredibly gruelling four hours of study, he got his certificate of completion from The Ruislip College of Advansed Learning (sic). So, with his training in hand, he's been expertly helping people with their problems ever since. What is Your Problem? is a compilation of readers' varied problems, be they about relationships, finances, nosey neighbours, coping with Christmas, teenagers or Mike from the accounts department, and Jack's very unique and very professional advice. What is Your Problem? is a book to turn to when life has taken a downward turn, or you just need a very good laugh.

Established as one of Britain's well-loved and biggest comedy stars, Jack Dee has captured the imagination of audiences with his dry humour and deadpan delivery. Since 2009, Jack has chaired the legendary BBC Radio 4 'antidote to panel games,' I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue. Jack also co-wrote and starred in the BBC Two hit sitcom, Lead Balloon, starred as Geoff in the BBC series JOSH and co-wrote and starred in the ITV sitcom Bad Move. He continues to tour his stand up shows nationally and internationally.

So funny, and so wise. Just like the man himself * Richard Osman * Morally bankrupt ... Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a zoom call * Jo Brand * Britain's foremost humourist and a compassionate counsellor have both told me Jack doesn't know what he's talking about * Graeme Garden * Funny, sometimes bracing * Spectator, Books of the Year * What Is Your Problem? is indeed very funny, and it's partly because much of Dee's advice is not at all helpful. But what's even better is that sometimes his advice is-albeit inadvertently-genuinely wise and illuminating * Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller * I recommend you read this. You'll thank me * Barry Cryer * I inhaled it. HILARIOUS. So sharp - it really made me laugh * Katherine Ryan * Jack dispenses advice exactly as you'd want him to: with both hilarious insight and healthy disdain for everyone involve * Romesh Ranganathan * A breath of fresh air * Sun * Timely resurgence of the pull-yourself-together school of therapy * The Times/Sunday Times * Absurd, occasionally useful, and always sardonic * Sunday Express * Morally bankrupt ... Not a book to be seen on your shelves during a zoom call * Jo Brand *
