Show 320 - *Joe Lycett - LIVE*

Avalon
About this episode

No-one uses their platform like Joe Lycett. A gifted comedian, he's used his position to raise various injustices and delightfully poke fun at those he disagrees with. He tells the hilarious inside stories of his money-shredding stunt, his challenge to David Beckham and his infamous appearance on Laura Kuenssberg's BBC show (including the after party with Rishi Sunak). Joe is a very funny man and this is a great laugh but it's also an insightful discussion about LGBT issues, social injustice and the effect his parents and the city of Birmingham had on his politics. This flies by faster than any episode in the history of the show. Enjoy!
