Channel 4 has announced that ‘Late Night Lycett’  is to launch on Channel 4 on Friday 31 March at 10pm.

Broadcasting live from Birmingham each week, Joe Lycett will bring his brand of comedy to end the week on a high. Joe will be joined by Celebrity guests, Brummie local legends, friends and family & LGBTQ+ heroes for an hour of mischief and mayhem.

Shot on the banks of Birmingham’s canals, the show will bring a touch of showbiz sparkle to Digbeth in a big night of unmissable entertainment.

Joe previously said: “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”.
