Jack Dee Brings Grumpy Gold to Dundee and It’s Gloriously Petty!

There are few certainties in life – taxes, rain during a Scottish summer, and Jack Dee’s glorious ability to turn life’s tiniest irritations into 90 minutes of unfiltered hilarity.

The king of the comedy eye-roll lands in Dundee this May with his new live tour, Small World. If you’re expecting biting political satire or deep existential revelations – well, don’t. Jack’s got bigger issues to tackle. Like radiators. And Zoom etiquette. And the kind of career guidance that makes you question every decision you’ve ever made. So, basically, your life – but funnier and with better lighting.

❝ A stand-up show for people who are too tired to be outraged anymore. ❞

Forget the think pieces. Forget the hot takes. Small World is Jack doing what he does best – weaponising grumpiness, mumbling truths that hit a bit too close to home, and making you laugh so hard you nearly spill your pint.

And if there’s a city that’s built to appreciate this brand of comedy, it’s Dundee. A place with bite, brains, and a healthy appreciation for sarcasm. Jack Dee doesn’t need to win Dundee over. He’s already speaking the native tongue: “Why is this happening?”, “Who thought this was a good idea?”, and of course, “For god’s sake.”

🥃 Pre-show tipple? You’ve got options.

Whitehall Theatre is bang in the middle of Dundee’s West End – and the bars and restaurants of Dundee are just begging to be your warm-up act.

• Malmaison: for cocktails with mood lighting and a vibe so sultry it almost makes you forget your overdraft.
• The West House: easygoing, buzzy, and dangerously good pizza.
• Duke’s Corner: beer, burgers, banter.
• Mas or Rishi’s: spice things up before Jack drags you back to earth.

Basically, there’s no excuse not to make a whole night of it. Comedy. Cocktails. Grumpiness. Perfection.

🔥 Real talk:

This show will sell out. The man hasn’t toured in ages and people are thirsty for the kind of comedy that doesn’t try to save the world – just makes it bearable for an hour or two.

So grab your ticket, book your table, and prepare to laugh at things that, deep down, you absolutely know you do too. (Yes, you. We saw you tutting in Tesco.)
