Joe Lycett - Winner Chortle Student Competition

Joe Lycett's winning performance at the 2009 Chortle Student Comedy Awards

[@jacobhutt7046]

OH MY GOD HE'S CHANGED SO MUCH

[@Nullllus]

*DID HEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????*

[@McLeanAmy]

I was just going to say that!

[@MidnightBitesCarly]

Yes but he still talks exactly the same

[@jtpf87]

He plays up the gay.

[@serinadelmar6012]

Tourette's Majestic Or initially played it down I think that’s far more likely…

[@unoriented_x4957]

In this, he was only 21 but with that hair and that sweater, I could have sworn he was a middle aged, mortgage on a semi paying, Volvo driving, wife/husband disappointing, drama teacher. Thank god someone helped him w/ his look!

[@potatowaffles184]

So I'm not the only one who thought he was wearing a wig and baggy clothes as a costume?

[@MikoSquiz]

What are you on about? He looks about 15 here.

[@CellarDoor1970]

This was 2009 and he is a student. Not sure anyone has helped him with this look. Have you seen him on Sewing Bee? xoxo

[@nrmnrmnrmnrm]

His content is still great in this but his timing has improved significantly over the years.

[@kcosgrove]

He’s talking so fast that I’m wondering if the video is actually sped up a bit. Or he’s nervous.

[@thejoshandcharles1]

@DesertRose I think it's cus you only get 5 mins. So, newer comedians try to blitz through all their material. Where as an experienced one will slow down and let a joke ruminate for a few seconds.

[@Littleangel47]

he looks like a young sandy toksvig there

[@McLeanAmy]

II can't unsee that! Love it.

[@lunareclipse6734]

he's has a serious glow up since then

[@ajjones317]

He has improved so much, now a top comedian.

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

it was a good set

[@RIXRADvidz]

I really like seeing where stand-ups come from with their talents. early club gigs, contests, festivals, open mic's, ....Joe's development has been pretty incredible considering this was only 2009.

[@LilyFitzgerald]

RIXRADvidz I know, how, wrong were all those dickheads below?

[@sarangdipity]

tbh I've seen the thumbnail for this video for so long but never clicked on it because I thought, "That's probably another comedian named Joe Lycett."

[@bygoatboy]

This is so cute. He would have been about 20 years old.

[@ScottishDeeSideEye]

Joe Lycett is AMAZING!!!! extremely clever comedian.

[@verbaluk1]

Definitely one to watch. I've seen him to a longer 20 set and it was outstanding.

[@jacksonoliveira7591]

Well, you were right! (:

[@only1utdanditsleeds]

My God Joe. You couldn't look more like a student if you tried

[@robinsea]

Awww you can see how much more confident he's gotten over the years

[@marionmoore4607]

Look how far he’s come. Well done Joe ❤️😂😂🦋🦋🍀🌈🌹🙏🏻🌞🌻

[@Daniella1Shaw]

he does sound ever so slightly more brummy in this

[@keytricks5691]

My exact first thought lol

[@personontheinternet3307]

I think it’s because he’s worked on his “image” which I think is posh camp and wired

[@CalumRhysJones]

Daniella Shaw NO. HE WAS BORN BETTER’

[@kq682]

I think he sounds far less brummy!?

[@odessaollandini7198]

InTheStars I was going to comment that’s

[@emzyem27]

Saw him last night in Oxford with Jack Whitehall...LEGEND.

[@user-bt2rq6kr2e]

He looks like Milton Jones.

[@McLeanAmy]

I thought that! A blonde Milton Jones!

[@NamYagami]

and sounds like Tom Allen

[@snappo20]

he sounds nothing like Tom Allen!

[@nirmalsuki]

MIlton Jones... the most handsome man in British Comedy...

[@blakewells5247]

I WILL NEVER UNSEE THAT!

[@AL-tm1ve]

even back then he was pretty damn good

[@harrietgreaves9706]

He went to my secondary school. so proud

[@AmanSingh-jr9eu]

How was he then

[@davidbartlett3653]

guess he's always been a wonderful performer. very talented. very nice to look at and to listen to

[@misslilylogan]

Fucking hell that hair

[@melissataglione9370]

So luscious

[@DrDeejay89]

He's much more camp now, but I love it! he's so funny!

[@brendanyoung282]

He is speaking a lot faster than he does nowadays . Hus quick wit is still there..much more refined now. Such a good comedian and he gets away with a lot! Brilliant

[@GetOverIt2]

He's on radio one now! Getting there...

[@DannyDiess]

just discovered this guy. hes awesome. ox

[@nicoleellis5369]

Answerscomeindreams 1 i just have myself

[@richardandconnorfreestylef4906]

[@damagedqueen]

ahhh another weasley...

[@creejy1776]

HAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

[@emmawrighttome]

i recognise this guy from a bbc3 programme i watched a few weeks ago - looks like he's doing ok out of it! and from this clip a deserved winner i would say!

[@embraceoblivion436]

Hey Joe, I just watched your winning performance at the 2009 Chortle Student Comedy Awards. Funny and good grief you look stunning with long hair! Do yourself and the world a solid and let it grow.

[@bents2302]

Fantastic!

[@popeyenick]

Excellent...great delivery

[@MrNiceHk]

Flawless

[@nkotecha25]

Anyone watching this in 2021??? I've only just come across this! Brilliant!

[@juliewillard1367]

I love Joe and his delivery has definitely changed.

[@hat1692]

SOOO EXCITED TO BE SEEING HIM ON THE 16TH DEC!!!!!!

[@flyingemu98]

well done for him :) hes done really well since then, ive seen him at quite a few comedy shows and hes on show and tell :D

[@lynkent677]

OMG....The Hair!!!...Love this man

[@soul_asmr]

ohhhhhh myyyyy gooosshhhh hahahah here in 2020 and wowww Joe's hair 😂😂😂😂

[@artysm7]

amazing!

[@frankhinstein2843]

Apparently when Joe left the theatre he saw a fleet of pre-booked hearse's...

[@joshdeegan91]

I gigged with him on Thursday in Stockport. Fucking hilarious. His Peter Dickson (X factor voice-over artist) impression is spot on.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

He got more comfortable with his audience as he went on. Great fun!

[@totallynotafurry8678]

Fetus joe is actually adorable

[@johnclark6318]

Hugo Boss has come a long way.

[@gee3883]

funny clever fucker,top notch

[@chrischross4116]

Amazing

[@lostinthecitylights]

Saw him in Edinburgh, 'Some Lycett Hot' such a brilliantly polished show, he's such a clever and likeable character, he almost lulls you into laughing along with him at almost everything, his jokes are great also. And if he doesn't put that on his next poster, then I'll change my opinion of him.

[@charlieadams2084]

Oml Joe

[@Drinkman7]

He now on BBC1's EPIC WIN!!!

[@LillianChasteau]

Sounds SO much like Julian Clary! Love him! :D xx

[@TheOnlyWil]

Joe has had a serious flow up

[@SmR8008]

I'm crying😂😂😂

[@Woolstenholme]

=D i like this guy

[@FranMSK]

Oh bless

[@OnlyConstant]

Funny man. Good luck to him.

[@MrHaydnSir]

i did similar kinda things as a bartender 🤦🏻‍♂️ i had so many antics and routines to run through customers with 😂 miss it like hell

[@johnmiller9953]

Class even at that stage

[@RabbitTeaPot]

Why is he one white shirt away from being Ned Flanders? Oh Joe.... lol

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

The seeds of genius. ..

[@imtheonewhobroughtthebeans915]

Holy shit, he’s really evolved into his final form since whenever this was filmed

[@MikesBakes]

the kitchen was struggling to cope

[@pen6666]

He sounds so, so different!! 😯😯

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

quality

[@dant828]

Surely he won

[@ahunter9503]

you're a very amusing guy :-)

[@mimprincesa]

He seems more "lad"-y here

[@arsey1833]

With that cardigan? Does “lad-y” mean elderly woman to you?

[@og87]

OMFG 😂😂😂😂😂 WOW

[@annother3350]

chortle chortle!!

[@tfatphvt]

His voice sounds much more distinctive now. Must have been a conscious decision.

[@Liv-hk7zi]

tfatphvt it could be to do with the people he's surrounded by now, he might be picking up their mannerisms

[@sarcasticbrit3492]

He looks fresh out of the 1970s lmao how can he change so much in 10 years

[@Baysidemom2]

omg Joe your hair!!

[@scientisttheorangepi]

Oh no, not a whole two years!? How tough...

[@tfatphvt]

He's really changed his voice.

[@Canad1anMan]

I mean generally feminine maybe. But his current higher Tambre voice isn't really feminine. I think the squeaks and squeals of his voice now are actually more tolerable than many female voices I know... I mean obviously, it depends on what they're saying/discussing but still. On average I'd generally rather listen to his voice.

[@e3180]

tfatphvt he's lost his accent

[@e3180]

I can hear the brUMMIE

[@mayortonyhall]

She is brillient, i cant wait to see her make it big !

[@sineadhunt9657]

mayortonyhall thats a guy

[@andrewhyogo]

Very funny.

[@MrWeaselwork]

I love how hes so ostentatiously middle class and almost camp (bi) makes him interesting...sort of.

[@TapDancerDood]

Almost?

[@mollers92]

Cracks me up on Josh Widdicombe's XFM show

[@daisyrk1387]

He looks younger now than he did then

[@EarosioN]

@Drinkman7 EPIC WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!

[@shellykorol3710]

Apparently this is the first gig he had ever preformed

[@danies18]

Hilarious! Also, I really really want to touch his hair.

[@AozoraUltra2006]

damn he lost so much weight

[@sofaoverlord7501]

his voice is a lot less camp here

[@teejay5627]

very good routine, i'll forgive the hair and the cardigan but i wasn't hot either when i was a student!

[@immersionirl]

Reminds me of Simon Amstel

[@MrHaydnSir]

he’s certainly aged well

[@wiedemaster]

The Shakespeare review's real, lol

[@Matty3Mite3]

Richard Emerald you were saying?

[@sufyanfaruq2554]

he went to my school also

[@TSkillaaa]

Thought this guy was brilliant to be fair, was quite surprised!

[@p.j.sharmansmith7254]

He was pretty bloody funny from the get go then. Born entertainer.

[@HWhite-hc5ge]

Joe looks like he's attempting a Jon Richardson x James Acaster cosplay with that outfit

[@zoeh4055]

oh. my. god. he looks like a different person now..

[@scattygirl1]

Not only that- he sounds like a different person as well.

[@becksimilian2955]

Omg he looks like Domhall Gleason

[@artysm7]

@TheFishybastard he's an american legend

[@evangeline819]

wow hugo boss looks so young!

[@meirwise1107]

Before his voice had broken.....

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

It's coming on It's coming on It's coming on It's there

[@rubberchix]

@emmawrighttome this was way before

[@JayWelton92]

@ Richard Emerald - you were saying?

[@emmax8333]

What was he saying?
