Jack Bryan’s hilarious, moving and gritty tales of policing from the late 1970s onwards. 


It’s the late 1970’s, Jack Bryan, a young father, shop steward and steel worker experiences the pain of redundancy just before Christmas and the impending birth of his second child. Caught up in the decline of traditional British Industries he joins the police at a time when that organisation is also in a state of rapid change. 

For the next 30 years Jack witnesses, first-hand, some of the most important events in late 20th century British social history … the race riots of the early 80s

the miners’ strike of 84-85

and the decimation of British Industries due to both globalisation and Thatcher. 


Coupled with all this, Jack finds himself entering a world which very few people get to know … a kind of psychotic Narnia that is governed by its own rules. 

Writer and performer, Jack Bryan, alongside having a 30-year career in the police, dealing with some of the country’s worst nightmares, has also had a 30-year career as a stand-up comedian, a tree surgeon, a Bush Craft instructor, shot blaster, upholsterer, steam engine driver and needle point teacher, among other things. (OK, that last one isn’t true).

This does not make him extremely old, it just means he has had to multi-task most of his life. 

However, he is quite old … certainly old enough to have lived through and witnessed, first-hand,

some of the UK’s most dramatic moments. Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot is an eye opening and honest account of some of these moments, delivered with wit and warmth, where Jack creates a great rapport with his audiences and reveals answers to questions they never knew they wanted to know, like how to commit the perfect murder and what a parrot tastes like. 


In the telling of this story Jack attempts to explain to the general public the reality of this parallel world. The results are both grittily honest, totally enlightening and hilariously funny. 

"You do not have to say anything … just come along and be entertained" ……….. Paul Jennings, Writer.
