Joe Lycett brings his hit show to Ireland - then heads to the Oscars.

One might argue the licence fee-paying public would gain better value by just sending the panel down to Bella Pasta and screening their subsequent pre-doughballs banter. Nominative know-it-alls joining Josh Widdicombe and Richard Osman tonight include Bake Off invigilator Paul Hollywood, historian Kate Williams and comedians Joe Lycett and Sara Pascoe.

James Kettle, The Guardian, 9th October 2015Review: Joe Lycett - The Lowry, Salford
Lycett is fully in-tune with his audience, and has crafted a show which feels inclusive and polished. He has a confidence in his material which shines through in his performance. As the tour is in its infancy it will only get better and is definitely worth a watch.
