Joe Lycett is one of Birmingham’s most renowned comedians these days.
Lycett made a name for himself after appearing on TV shows including Live at the Apollo, Taskmaster, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, and as the announcer on Saturday BBC One show Epic Win. He’s also become known for his sardonic political commentary on social media as well as television shows.
The Brummie comedian who is originally from Hall Green, but now lives in Kings Heath, has had a host of high profile public appearances in the last couple of years - including that David Beckham World Cup Challenge, and of course his Twitter campaign around ex-PM Liz Truss.
Known for his satire, the proud Brummie also has his own Channel 4 show Late Night Lycett and is also a brilliant stand-up comic.
Here are some of his finest jokes and one-liners.
1. What keeps him awake at night
"If anything kept me awake at night it would be worrying that there wouldn't be enough time to have a nap the next day."
2. On celebrities posting 'wise' quotes online
"Cara Delevingne posted a quote on social media that said: 'listen and silent are spelt with the same letters. Think about it.' I thought about it for 10 seconds and commented on the post 'also tinsel. Think about that.'"
3. On being an introvert
"I'm not sure if I'm an introvert or extrovert. I love being around people, but sometimes I do need to go off and fart."
4. "I can't have a KitKat without panicking."
