The first series celebrated inclusivity, with the city of Birmingham at the heart of the show. Each week, Lycett welcomed famous faces to the banks of Digbeth, including actor Dame Joanna Lumley, comedian and actor Rob Delaney, comedian Judi Love, presenter Alison Hammond, model and activist Munroe Bergdorf, reality star Gemma Collins and presenter Joel Dommett.

Celebrities mixed with the locals for a series of games and comedy skits, which saw Natalie Cassidy (EastEnders) and Paul Chuckle take over the local corner shop, production trainee Linda Biscuits become a fan favourite, and Lycett satirically challenge the woke agenda with Radio 1 DJ Greg James, actor Richard E Grant and comedian Alan Carr for his straight talking newsreader segment.

In one prize game, Lycett even gave away his own car to an audience member.

Joe Lycett said: “The first series of Late Night Lycett was the most fun I've ever had making TV. From Paul Chuckle destroying my local corner shop to Katherine Ryan being trapped on a floating barge, the whole thing feels like a crazed fever dream. I can't wait to go bigger and wilder in series two.”

Phil Harris, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at Channel 4, added: “The first series of Late Night Lycett was a blast of classic Channel 4 anarchy while also breaking new ground in live comedy entertainment. We are so proud of this show, and we can’t wait to create more Friday night chaos with Joe, the brilliant team at Rumpus and, of course, Linda Biscuits.”

The new commission follows the previously announced Late Night Lycett Christmas Special (working title) which is due to air later this year.

The second series of Late Night Lycett is due to air in 2024.
