UK Comic
Dee Doing Drag
By Katharine Road, PA News
Dour comedian Jack Dee is set to shock fans in his new television show --
by dressing up as a sexy woman, it was revealed tonight.
The deadpan comic ditched his trademark grey suits and a miserable
expression for an outrageous sketch in his new series, starting on October
26.
South Londoner Dee told PA News: "You know how it is that some
transvestites say they dress up in women's clothes and feel wonderful?
"Well, I didn't. I thought I looked grotesque. But the funny thing is,
when you put on make-up your bottom lip drops automatically into a pout. But
it wasn't very comfortable."
The comedian who shot to fame advertising John Smith bitter dons
fishnets, lipstick, boots and a long dark hair wig for a sketch about an
imaginary ancestor, Jackie Dee, a Sixties model.
It is part of Dee's new-look show after a two-year break from
television, featuring scripted scenes as well as stand-up, to be recorded
just days before transmission.
He added: "I haven't told my wife Jane, because I actually think I look
better than her.
"It will be a bit of a shock, and a bit disturbing for the children as
well."
Jack Dee's Sunday Service will be broadcast on Sunday, October 26, at 10pm
on ITV.
