A big smile out of Jacky Dee there for a split second right at the end. A good change.

[@rastafurrian3724]

Jack killed it here. Should have been an hour.

[@noneofyourbusiness4761]

This is my favourite so far

[@jezzaus2124]

Could listen to him all day.

[@Dirt_Nasty]

This should be on BBC one a whole series of it instead of the boring shit they have on there on Friday night's.

[@sarahl3721]

Remember when Friday night was comedy night :'(

[@sajid_kamran]

Re-murderers: "They have murdered, they have done time, they have gone out and murdered again" (read in scottish accent) :D

[@mysteriousbillionaire7349]

this was hilarious

[@brillsmith2207]

lol why are prison guards always scottish

[@RealBesty]

I really like this version of Jack :)

[@1000shoeswoman]

me too

[@deelot1]

That donkey joke though!

[@assaqwwq]

golden moment to ask the guard if theres a prison for re-re-murderers

[@DJayDiamond]

My 2 favourite comedians

[@lonelylantern9135]

Love these two!

[@lu8201]

Love this please do more x

[@jonathanentwistle30]

These are class 👍

[@woolenhat5796]

jack dee is amazing

[@1000shoeswoman]

i laughed from start to finish funny😂🤣

[@ethnicalbert]

i wish these were much longer!

[@jackjjack7109]

Funny shit right there

[@Gillon200]

Is that Mike from Breaking Bad in the crowd at the start?

[@RoyalPriest1988]

It's funny you mentioned that, coz the thumbnail looks like Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad..

[@MrShabz117]

where laughters never ISstop

[@Ludifant]

His bit about remurderers makes me wonder if there are medial teachers.

[@Neddoest]

I seriously hope Jackie Dee does taskmaster at some point

[@shaktiodedra3970]

Lmao is that uncle shady?

[@Jambax]

It was a mistake to drink tea and watch this.

[@JG-zu5wc]

I don’t know why - but he has hilarious bits on horses and donkeys 😂

[@sheppo]

Is there a full version of this?

[@yneshAshanti]

Sheppo why? Was it really that funny?

[@MegaSpideyman]

@Sheppo Yes, on BBC iPlayer.

[@tobyb1018]

Totally agree with his assessment of being on wogan- if you don’t want the comedian doing their material uncensored, you don’t want that comedian...

[@dannydorko7075]

bit like bill hicks on Letterman

[@sfshinz]

“To turn up to do a gig that’s very important to you, if your face is on it“ at which point I swear I heard Vic Reeve’s voice, “Jack Dee, with your face like...”

[@tylerfox7269]

Ha ha! Love it! I was thinking the same thing “ Jack Dee, with your face like an explosion…. at a shit farm” 👍😂😂

[@hopebgood]

Concessions in. Working out. hahahaha

[@mystik.mermayde.aotearoa]

That was a great joke 😂😂😂

[@happilyyes]

What is the name of the guy right at the beginning, on the stage with the really deadpan delivery? Seen him in a few things....

[@habibaltaf6118]

Isn't that the uncle in Man Like Mobeen?

[@happilyyes]

@@habibaltaf6118 Yes it is! I know now the actor / comedian is Mark Silcox. :)

[@noneofyourbusiness4761]

whos the Indian stand up at the start. Ive seen him before on a channel four program.

[@osmaniqbal8354]

none of your business I think it’s Mark Silcox, who was on Man Like Mobeen (possibly a C4 programme as well).

[@michaelkoppel8527]

It is indeed him, although Man Like Mobeen was BBC

[@penaltygallery]

He was also on "immigrants guide to Britain" on Channel 4

[@scriptureonline]

Uncle Shady

[@user-ow5nn8wr8n]

Mark Silcox is great on the Joe Lycett consumer show.

[@banhammer7243]

Is this a program or just these clips?

[@felixcleeve4342]

Banhammer72 just clips

[@banhammer7243]

Shame, could be a pretty funny show I think.

[@stopcake]

Can’t we have this as a proper series on BBC1 on Friday nights like what kind of garbage do they even show on there on Fridays anymore

[@GannosukeAU]

hahaha Mark Silcox aka Uncle Shady.

[@mushroom1212]

The captions stop halfway through the video so all I know is that he was playing to re-murderers :/

[@jushharris5978]

He was having difficulty thinking of what they'd find funny. Turns out it's anal sex. They loved jokes about anal. They were all loving it and he thought he'd better stop before they thought they could take it any further.

[@yazanalkhatib5725]

its not always insulin lol

[@stuartkseels]

Is it just me,, or is this the funniest that Jack Dee has ever been? Which isn't saying much....

[@TequilaToothpick]

Just you.

[@Rich.H68]

We need more Dee on TV

[@rockyescape8989]

I think that might have been my first time seeing jack smile
