A SHOW by legendary comedian Jack Dee in Swanage sold out less than 10 minutes after tickets went on sale.

The performance is set to take place at The Mowlem theatre on Tuesday, October 8.

It is a warm-up ahead of a full UK tour for the star, known for Jack Dee’s Saturday Night and Jack Dee’s Happy Hour.

In 2009, Jack replaced Humphrey Lyttelton as chair of BBC Radio 4’s I’m Sorry, I Haven’t A Clue.

And after announcing the date earlier this week, the theatre said the demand was enormous.

“What? Less than 10 minutes of the doors being open and Jack Dee sold out,” a spokesperson said.

“Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, we can’t wait to welcome Jack to Swanage in October.”

Meanwhile, they said comedy fans could also catch award-winning comedian Maisie Adam at The Mowlem on November 6.
