Nothing But is a tender, playful, darkly comic tale in which Jack grapples with lost youth, infatuation, fatherhood, sex, secrets and truth.

Jack Docherty started his career at the Edinburgh Festival in the 1980s and was twice shortlisted for the Perrier Award. He then went on to write for Spitting Image, Alas Smith and Jones, The Lenny Henry Show, Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out and many others. He has also appeared in The Comic Strip, Red Dwarf and Have I Got News For You and provided the voice for Aardman’s Oscar nominated short film Humdrum.
