Live dates herald new BBC1 show

Jack Dee is to host a new BBC1 variety show ­ and has announced a string of live dates in preparation.

The corporation has commissioned six episodes of Jack Dee Live At The Apollo for broadcast this summer.

Each promises Jack performing stand-up and introducing guests.

To warm up, he'll be performing at more than a dozen small gigs in the south-east, starting next week and running until mid-May.
