Joe Lycett: Work In Progress

Joe Lycett is charming, disarming and alarmingly funny. Lycett’s work-in-progress was for his new show ‘That’s The Way Uh Huh Uh Huh, Joe Lycett’, which discussing masculinity and his own relationship with the idea. Mixing up his still not fully formed palette of ideas, ranging from service station and stag do anecdotes to the parent/child relationship with his own mother, this may have covered familiar subjects but they were delightfully seasoned with Lycett’s own twist – delivering up unexpected punchlines like a Tango-slap. When, occasionally topics had less of an affect his grace was a lesson in modern manners. This is why seeing works-in-progress can be such a treat.
