Comedian had a varied career before his humour started to earn him money
Sunday, 11 January 2009
Jack Dee has had his fair share of bad jobs.
The comedian - who once applied to be a priest - admits that working for a local hospital was the worst.
‘My darkest hour was delivering incontinence pads for the NHS,’ he says. 'I had to collect the used ones at the end and take them to an incinerator.
'Another bloke who did it was doubling up on jobs and did a run for his brother’s butcher’s shop at the same time. He had a van half full of meat to deliver to restaurants, the other half full of soiled nappies.’
Jack, 46, who stars in BBC series Lead Balloon, also earned cash by making fake legs.
‘I had a holiday job in a factory making artificial limbs,’ he tells Celebs On Sunday.
‘I made small components – I never got to assemble the final leg. They used to get excited when there was a civil war somewhere because business improved and they’d get overtime.’
