Former drama studen Joe Lycett's first gig was at the Comedy Store in Manchester in February 2008, and later that year was a finalist in the City Life North-West Comedian Of The Year.

The following year he won the Chortle Student Award and was runner-up in the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year.

Live Review

Joe Lycett has a delightfully natural style that builds a real connection with the audience. Back that with some fine observational material and you have a winning set. Confident, but not cocky, this relative newcomer playfully mocks an Amazon customer’s review of the Complete Works Of Shakespeare before regaling the audience with first-hand tales of working in a theatre, scoring a minor but important victory over a snooty customer and getting mischievous over the Tannoy.

Other acts of similar standing may have sharper gags than Lycett, but his complete package of innate comic charm and warm wit is very appealing.

Bleeding hilarious
