Simply 9 fabulous times Joe Lycett made everyone’s day better on Twitter
We love Joe Lycett in everything that he does, from panel games to consumer shows, from Travel Man to Great British Sewing Bee, from stand-up to Twitter.
And it’s the very last of these we look at now after Lycett’s introduction to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham went viral for reasons which are about to become obvious (and you surely can’t have missed).
So enjoy these 9 times the great Joe Lycett made everyone’s day better on Twitter.
1. When he opened the Commonwealth Games like this

2. His epic parking ticket story on Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats which goes viral again at least once a year
3. When Birmingham’s Lord Mayor opened his kitchen extension
Today is one of the greatest days in the history of the City of Birmingham. It is officially one year since the opening of my kitchen extension, The Mosquito Wing, by The Lord Mayor of Birmingham. A thread. (1/10)

In March 2019 I emailed the office of The Lord Mayor Yvonne Mosquito asking if she would open my kitchen extension. (2/10) pic.twitter.com/LCTutXxBwZ

Her people said no because it is a private event and she doesn’t do private events. And also presumably because it’s a kitchen extension. (3/10) pic.twitter.com/JTE2ah4bkW

Furious, I suggested that perhaps I could make it a public event, raffle off tickets to members of the public to join, and give the proceeds to the Lord Mayor’s charity. She agreed and the event was set. Thousands of people applied to win just four tickets. (4/10) pic.twitter.com/iq2p4VB28i

I met the winners in a nearby pub for a pint and then to protect the location of my house they were blindfolded, had their phones confiscated, and were driven to the event. (5/10) pic.twitter.com/Vtpab0h9bj

Then the Lord Mayor came and opened my kitchen. She cut a ribbon, made a speech, unveiled the plaque, and stayed for drinks and canapés. You can watch the whole live stream here. https://t.co/qj1yxM2SKC (6/10)

Many local and international celebrities attended, including @kathbum, @LloydGriffith (who sang the national anthem, @nickowentv, @BeccyWoodTV, @BarbaraNice but sadly not @PaulChuckle2 as he was on holiday. (7/10) pic.twitter.com/uV8utlO8mc

We raised £3000 and later that year I presented a massive cheque to the Mayor outside the town hall. https://t.co/psR4DeRIkv (9/10)
