  • Jack Dee has been using lockdown to write a new book in which he offers advice to fans
  • To be involved, you can tweet your questions to the comedian via the hashtag #AskJack
  • The book, published in October 2021, will feature fans' problems, alongside Dee's advice

Jack Dee is writing a book in which he answers questions from fans.

The currently un-titled book is scheduled for publication in October 2021, and Dee is now soliciting questions via Twitter.
The stand-up says: "Thank you for reading this. I wanted to update you on what I've been up to.

"During lockdown I have retrained online as a psychotherapist and am now open for business. It was an arduous four hours study but worth it, as I now have a certificate of completion from The Ruislip College Of Advansed Learning (sic). And that means that I am fully qualified to handle most stuff.

"If you have an emotional, relationship, work or other issue that you need help with, or if you've just totally lost your shit and can't take it anymore, tweet it using #askjack.

"If not, then please share this with someone you might know who is fucked up and needs a good talking to. Don't forget to use #askjack.

"I look forward to being able to help you. It's what I'm good at."

The message concludes: "My publishers have insisted I tell you that I haven't [qualified as a psychotherapist] and I am in no way qualified to give you advice."

The I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue host is not new to the world of being an 'agony uncle'. He has previously offered advice to viewers via his Help Desk live shows, and his topical TV series Jack Dee's HelpDesk, which ran on BBC Two between 2015 and 2017.

The new book is due to be published via Quercus on 14th October 2021.

The publishers say: " This book will be a rich compendium of your problems along with Jack's unique, very professional, advice."
It is available for pre-order. See below.

Jack Dee - What Is Your Problem?

Jack Dee has been very busy during lockdown and would like to update everybody on what he's been up to.

While the nation was baking bread and clearing out cupboards, Jack retrained online as a psychotherapist and is now open for business. After FOUR HOURS study, he has a certificate of completion from The Ruislip College of Advansed Learning [sic].

So with his training in hand, he's been expertly helping people with their problems ever since. What Is Your Problem? is a compilation of your varied problems, be they about relationships, finances, cross-dressing, nosey neighbours, coping with Christmas, teenagers or Mike from the accounts department, and Jack's very unique and very professional advice.

What Is Your Problem? is a book to reach for when life has taken a downward turn, or when you just need a very good laugh.
