Joe Lycett is one of the funniest comedians on TV – and he's set to grace our screens on Friday night as one of the stars presenting Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old Brummie, also known by the self-given moniker Mummy, has come a long way in showbiz since bursting onto the scene with his popular stand-up shows.<\/p>\n

The Channel 4 programme, which will see Joe joined by hosts including Davina McCall and Adam Hills, will be held at The Francis Crick Institute, a renowned hub for pioneering cancer research, for Cancer Research UK.<\/p>\n

But what do we know about the comedian's life away from the cameras? <\/p>\n

Relationship status <\/h3>\n

Over the years, the comedian has remained tight-lipped on his relationship status and it's currently not known whether he is loved up or single.<\/p>\n

He has, however, been open about his sexuality.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Joe describes himself as pansexual, which means he is attracted to people of all genders and sexes, after initially coming out as gay in his teens – "then backtracked when I thought I had closed off the market a bit."<\/p>\n

His parents have always been "supportive" of his LGBTQ+ status, but his mum "worried I might get more problems in life because of my bisexuality but I think people are more liberal now."<\/p>\n

Speaking to the i newspaper in 2016, Joe said: "I say bisexual because it's easy for people to understand but I actually don't quite think it's that.<\/p>\n

"Pansexual seems to be the closest thing at this point. In the sense that, what I'm attracted to changes depending on intangible things.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"Sometimes you just look at someone's thighs and think, \u2018Oof, God, yeah\u2019, but the other parts don't appeal to you.<\/p>\n

"It's not entirely to do with gender \u2013 it's to do with where you're at, your upbringing and the kind of person you are. It's really complicated, like life is."<\/p>\n

The comedian frequently refers to his pansexuality as part of his stand-up routines but has experienced vile homophobic heckles a few times in his career.<\/p>\n

He explained: "When it's happened in gigs I've been so excited by it.<\/p>\n

"I get defensive about it because I don't like homophobia but I also don't consider myself to be gay.<\/p>\n

"So [it\u2019s a case of] you're wrong but you're so wrong you haven't even touched the surface of how wrong it is. It's a real fish-in-a-barrel opportunity to really kick off."<\/p>\n

Birmingham home <\/h3>\n

Joe regularly takes to his Instagram to update his followers on his gardening progress, alongside showing snippets of his modest Birmingham terraced house.<\/p>\n

The comedian's kitchen made headlines when he convinced the Lord Mayor of Birmingham to open his new extension back in 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What started as a joke, led to a public event where Yvonne Mosquito cut the ribbon to mark the end of his home improvement project.<\/p>\n

The kitchen itself was also pretty impressive – Joe extended the room length-wise and went for blue and white appliances, with a dark wood floor to complement the colours.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opting for white countertops, Joe showed off his in-built drinks cabinet and floating shelves all filled with plenty of plants and flowers.<\/p>\n

The kitchen backs out onto the comedian\u2019s garden, which was also featured heavily in his Instagram uploads of the ceremony.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Joe's back garden is a little slice of heaven, complete with a neat gravel footpath, primly trimmed plants and flowers, hanging baskets, outdoor furniture and a wooden structure enveloped with foliage.<\/p>\n

Other notable interior choices in Joe\u2019s humble abode include a black painted door in his living room area, plain off-white walls, a tall standing lamp and what appears to be a mustard coloured sofa.<\/p>\n

In terms of Joe\u2019s tastes, it\u2019s pretty clear the comedian is into a combination of rustic and contemporary, and his garden is clearly a passion.<\/p>\n

Art <\/h3>\n

When he's not on tour with his latest stand-up routine, or filming for his next TV show, Joe has a penchant for all things art, from painting to pottery.<\/p>\n

The star has even been known to hold exhibitions of his work, in partnership with his mother, Helen, who is a former graphic designer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
