Popular comedian Joe Lycett returns to the screen this evening with another installment of his hit Channel 4 series, Lycett’s Irish Pub. The show, which sees Lycett open his fully licensed pub, The Paisley Carpark Inn, for just one hour a week, continues to draw big-name guests eager to join in the festive atmosphere.
This week’s episode features actor and comedian Lenny Henry stepping up as temporary bar manager, bringing his signature Brummie charm to the role. Joining him is fellow comedian Joanne McNally, who takes on the part of an enthusiastic customer, promising a lively interaction with the landlord.
The series is known for its unscripted, high-energy environment where real alcohol flows and genuine conversations unfold within the tight time constraint. With Henry and McNally in tow, viewers can expect the signature convivial chaos that has made the show a standout in the current television lineup.
The episode airs tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
I’m skeptical about the unscripted claim. Seems staged to me, but Joanne McNally is hilarious so I might watch anyway.
Lenny Henry running a pub? That sounds like absolute chaos. Can’t wait to see what he gets up to.
