Description
Jack Dee has been very busy during lockdown and would like to update everybody on what he's been up to. While the nation has been baking bread and clearing out cupboards, Jack has retrained online as a psychotherapist and is now open for business. After FOUR HOURS study, he has a certificate of completion from The Ruislip College of Advansed Learning [sic]. If you have an emotional, relationship, work or other issue that you need help with, or if you've just totally lost your sh*t and can't take it anymore, then he would love to hear from you. This book will be a rich compendium of your problems along with Jack's unique, very professional, advice.
Author Biography
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.
ReviewsSo 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 *
