Nothing But is a tender, playful, darkly comic tale in which Jack grapples with lost youth, infatuation, fatherhood, sex, secrets and truth.
Following a critically acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2021, Jack Docherty, one of Scotland's favourite comic performers and the BAFTA award winning star of Scot Squad and Absolutely, has announced that he will be touring in 2022 with his new play Nothing But (Independent's Top Ten Shows of the Fringe).
Nothing But is a tender, playful, darkly comic tale in which Jack grapples with lost youth, infatuation, fatherhood, sex, secrets and truth.
A love letter to Edinburgh, family and summer rain.

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.
