Who is Joe Lycett?
JOE Lycett is one of the brightest starts in British comedy.
He's back with a brand new series of his hilarious live show Late Night Lycett.
Comedian Joe Lycett was born in Birmingham on July 5, 1988.
Having studied drama and English at the University of Manchester, he was named the 2009 Chortle Student Comedian of the Year and was a finalist in the 2011 BBC New Comedy Awards.
In addition, Joe was nominated in 2012 for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
What is Joe Lycett's net worth?
Comedian Joe has amassed an impressive fortune during his time in the spotlight.
As of 2024, he has a reported net worth of around £1.2million.
This has been accumulated through multiple comedy gigs and TV appearances.
Is he married and does he have kids?
The comedian has been fairly tight lipped when it comes to his love life — but it's believed that he is single.
He has never gone public with any partner, so it's possible that he's in a private relationship.
It is also understood that Joe does not have kids.
What has Joe Lycett said on his sexuality?
Joe is openly pansexual — which is the sexual and emotional attraction towards people regardless of sex or gender.
He often references his sexuality during his stand-up routines.
As he explained in an interview with Unicorn: “The pan thing… to me it’s an intellectual way of thinking about sexuality. I do not expect to see it on any forms or whatever.
“It’d be nice to use it more than I do. But it’s not something that I get that fussed about. Pan articulates the beauty of how complex the thing is.
As I’ve got older I’ve realised that sexuality is this slightly intangible thing

“Someone described themselves as ‘spontaneous-sexual.’ I thought that was quite interesting. It moves with the times and with your moods and so many other things.
“Bi didn’t feel quite right, so when I heard the word pan — how that just means ‘all’ — I thought yeah, fair enough. That sounds a bit more correct.
He added: “As I’ve got older I’ve realised that sexuality is this slightly intangible thing.
“Like a lot of people, I would ideally like to get to a point where nobody gives a shit either way. But unfortunately being anything but straight in some places is a death sentence.
“So, whilst that remains the case, people who have similar experiences of sexuality and are persecuted for it, need to help one another out and need to speak when injustices are happening.
“But in an ideal world there would just be none of it. There would just be consent. And not hurting people.”
What TV shows has Joe Lycett been in?
Joe has appeared on multiple panel shows including 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI, alongside his stand-up work.
He's also acted as the narrator for reality show Ibiza Weekender and in 2019 the star was picked up for his own TV show focusing on consumer rights — Joe Lycett's Got Your Back.
In 2019, Joe took over hosting The Great British Sewing Bee from Claudia Winkelmann, but has since left the role.
The comedian also appeared on Who Do You Think You Are? in 2021 to discover his roots.
And since 2023 Joe has hosted his own talk show called Late Night Lycett.
When is Late Night Lycett on and where can I watch it?
The show began in 2023, celebrating Birmingham’s diversity as Joe was joined by local heroes, LGBTQ+ icons and guests from the worlds of comedy, TV, film and music.
In the first series guests including Dame Joan Collins, Richard E Grant and David Harewood joined Joe in Digbeth.
Meanwhile, celebs including EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler) and ‘H’ from Steps ran riot in Joe’s local corner shop.
The nation also met controversial straight-talking newsreader Richard Yewtree whilst Joe gave away his own car as a prize.
Joe says: “The first series of Late Night Lycett was the most fun I've ever had making TV.
“From Paul Chuckle destroying my local corner shop to Katherine Ryan being trapped on a floating barge, the whole thing feels like a crazed fever dream.
“I can't wait to go bigger and wilder in series two.”
The new series of Late Night Lycett launches April 12 and will run for six weeks, live every Friday night at 10pm on Channel 4.
