On this episode my guest is one of Britain’s most distinctive comedians, an award-winning stand-up, actor, writer, and the creator of the brilliant TV sitcom, Lead Balloon.
Jack Dee has always had a sharp wit, a dry outlook, and as it turns out, a deep, long-standing admiration for both Paul Weller and his music.
In this episode, a snippet of the interview recorded for my upcoming book, Jack shares how The Jam gave him an ‘alibi’ in the late seventies, his surreal moments sharing a bill with Weller, and how a Paul Weller track ended up as the theme tune to his hit sitcom. We also explore the parallels between comedy and music, his admiration for Weller’s constant evolution, and a few unforgettable encounters along the way.
