Jack Docherty is Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson - your Chief, our Chief, The People’s Chief!

As seen on BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad and The Chief, this national hero will be bringing his wit and wisdom (and let’s be honest, his still simmering good-looks) to a theatre near you.

You may have seen The Chief’s ‘Apology sketch’ - a viral sensation, racking up more than 80 million views - well now’s your chance to see The Chief live in his critically acclaimed, sell-out show, No Apologies.

The show will feature your favourite sketches from Scot Squad and lots of hilarious new jokes as The Chief dissects the state of the nation, from politics to policing, football to families, bams to biscuits.

The Chief will also read excerpts from his forthcoming best-selling memoir, No Apologies, a book that tells his unique personal story of how a white, middle-class, public school educated boy from Edinburgh somehow overcame all the odds to become the Chief Commissioner of The Scottish Police Force.

This is sure to be the theatrical event of this, or any other, year. Don’t miss out!
