Jack Dee is a British comedian known for his sardonic, deadpan style. Dee first became well known to audiences in the early 1990s. During that decade he appeared in a series of high-profile adverts for the brewery John Smiths in which he introduced the recently invented widget. In 2004 Jack Dee had his own weekly TV show on the BBC called Jack Dee - Live at the Apollo. Each episode featured a half-hour performance from a well-known British or international comedian. Previous guests include Jo Brand, Ross Noble, Ardal OHanlon, Joan Rivers & Omid Djalili. Jack Dee has also had some success as a straight actor, notably in an episode of the BBC drama series, Silent Witness. In 2001 he showed another side of his character, endeared himself to viewers & was the winner of Celebrity Big Brother.

This DVD is full, from start to finish, with the funniest British comedian around. The Midget with the Widget never fails to disappoint & will have you absolutely laughing your head off for well over an hour. His dry & witty sense of humour will appeal to many generations, & the little guy makes me laugh just watching him. This is a perfect DVD for watching with the family also because he knows not to go over the top. Absolutely amazing how much new material he has composed for this show. A must have comedy DVD.
