‘OK, fine. I’m a national treasure’: Joe Lycett on fatherhood, Celebrity Traitors
The comedian’s new Friday night series will be set in a working pub, with his aunties working the bar and celebrities doing shifts as managers. Or it will be if he can only get his licence …
TL;DR
- Joe Lycett's new show, 'Live from the Lycett Arms,' will be broadcast live from a working pub.
- Lycett is also the licensed operator of the pub but has failed the mandatory exam for his personal license.
- The pub is still under construction in east London, and Lycett does not know the full address.
- The show will feature celebrity managers doing trial shifts, Lycett's aunties working the bar, weekly quizzes, and rotating regulars.
- Lycett is also returning to stand-up comedy and will appear in 'The Celebrity Traitors' later this year.
- Fatherhood has made Lycett more risk-averse but also more inclined to stand up for things.
