"Any rozzers in? Any filth?" Last week Joe Lycett revealed that he had been questioned by police after an audience member in Belfast complained about a joke. The file was promptly closed and the comedian had the proverbial last laugh during his London run by sarcastically checking if he was under surveillance. And also by repeating the joke.
The Brummie stand-up has made a name for himself as a campaigner for consumer rights, hosting Channel 4’s Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back, and there is a strong motif of fighting for justice in this playful, uplifting show, entitled More, More, More! How Do You Lycett? How Do You Lycett? He says the title was foisted on him by his agent, but it is hard to imagine anything being foisted upon this forceful 33-year-old.
