Joe Lycett

Joe Lycett is a British comedian who has appeared on numerous television shows, including Live At The Apollo (2007-). He has also been a presenter for The Great British Sewing Bee (2013-) and Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back (2019-).

He has made many radio appearances, and in September 2016, he took over for Miles Jupp as the host of It’s Not What You Know (2008-) on BBC Radio 4. He recently made television appearances in The Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2020), Dragon’s Den (2005-) as a presenter, Birdgirl (2021-2022) as a voice actor, and Have I Got News For You (1990-) as a panelist.

Lycett talks openly about his bisexuality in his stand-up routine.

He isn’t shy about his sexuality on social media either. 

He has a show called Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back (2019-present) that takes on big corporations with a comedic spin.

As part of the show, Lycett famously changed his name to Hugo Boss to draw attention to the fact that the fashion giant was issuing cease-and-desist letters to other businesses with the word “Boss” in their names, specifically Swansea’s Boss Brewing. (He changed his name back that same year.)
