Live from Birmingham… it’s Joe Lycett

Comedian, presenter and scourge of big business Joe Lycett presents a new late-night comedy entertainment series live from his hometown of Birmingham.

Joe Lycett:

“I’m absolutely psyched and naturally very nervous about hosting a weekly live show from Birmingham, but it has been a dream of mine for many years and I look forward to some (controlled) late night chaos.”

Everyone’s invited – whether it’s celebrities, local heroes, or even Joe’s aunties – for a rollercoaster hour of inclusivity, mischief and mayhem. Every Friday, Joe will celebrate the week gone by with his own signature style of comedy, as he looks back at the biggest news stories, ropes his guests into games and sketches, and offers audience members the chance to win… his own possessions.

There hasn’t been this much glamour in Birmingham since Noele Gordon

With inclusivity and fun at its heart, the series will see Joe take a look back at the week in a way only he can – combining his unique brand of mischief and mayhem with his singular style of comedy. Shot on the banks of Birmingham’s canals, the show will bring a touch of Hollywood sparkle to Digbeth in a big night of unmissable entertainment.

Will Joe have anything left by the end of the series? For the opening episode, Joe’s guests are Dame Joanna Lumley, Katherine Ryan and Alison Hammond.
