Joe Lycett Discusses Fatherhood, New Pub-Set TV Show and Celebrity Traitors Appearance

Comedian Joe Lycett has spoken about how fatherhood has altered his daily routine, ahead of the launch of a new television series set in a working pub, according to an interview published by The Guardian.

Lycett, whose son is almost two years old, told the publication that he no longer drinks as much as he used to. "Since I had my son, I'm not drinking anywhere near as much," he said, according to the interview. "Children do not respect hangovers, or tiredness in general."

The comedian said he has adjusted his evening schedule to match his child's, telling The Guardian: "I've started going to bed when he does, which is about seven o'clock. I've seen a few nights where I've just gone: 'Right, well, that's me, then.'"

According to the report, Lycett's new Friday night series will be filmed in a working pub, featuring his aunties working behind the bar while celebrities take on shifts as pub managers. The Guardian noted the format is contingent on Lycett securing a required licence for the production.

The interview, part of a wider conversation with The Guardian, also touched on his experiences and views related to the television format Celebrity Traitors, though further details of those remarks were not fully specified in the available excerpt.

Lycett is a well-known British comedian and television presenter who has appeared across a range of panel shows and comedy programs in the UK.
