After a year's absence Joe Lycett returns with a new hour. He's really built his charisma, his panache and exuberant style for this very entertaining hour.
As ever his rapport with the audience is deft and funny; he's just the right side of condescending and he's not afraid to go even to the back of the room to pick out an audience member. The Saturday night crowd added to the energy and interaction, and Lycett feeds off it tremendously well.
His written segments are brilliantly performed with slick, off-hand delivery that seems so natural; he's a gifted stand-up comedian. It's a lovely mixture of material, from his laddish TA acquaintance 'Johnny' from a stag-do, to examples of his infamous light-hearted internet antics and stories of home and artisan coffee shops.
Overall a thoroughly entertaining hour from this delightfully funny comic.
