Comedian Joe Lycett Applies to Run His Own London Pub for New Channel 4 Series
The six-part Channel 4 series will see Lycett serve drinks and host guests in a pub that opens live for one hour each week.
- Comedian Joe Lycett will open his own East London pub, The Lycett Arms, as the backdrop for a new six-part live entertainment series on Channel 4, operating for only one hour each Friday night.
- Channel 4 Head of Live Events Tom Beck commissioned the series after months of negotiations, with Lycett requiring a Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders to legally serve alcohol.
- Each episode features a celebrity 'pub manager' pairing the East London venue with a real-world pub across Britain, creating what producers call a 'heartfelt tribute' to local watering holes through live comedy.
- Produced by Bango Studios and My Options Were Ltd, executive producers Emily Hudd and Iain Wimbush describe the series as an 'exhilarating slice of live entertainment joy,' streaming on Channel 4 later this year.
- Lycett jokingly described the project as a 'tax dodge,' yet confirmed he will meet obligations welcoming guests live Fridays at 10pm to brighten viewers' evenings across the six-week run.
