The Lycett Arms Guests This Week: Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade and Lou Sanders Join Joe Lycett on Channel 4

Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade and Lou Sanders are joining Joe Lycett on Live From The Lycett Arms this week as the Channel 4 comedy show opens its doors for another hour of live Friday night chaos.

Where to Watch: 10pm tonight (Friday 25 September, 10pm on Channel 4).

Joe Lycett is welcoming a star-studded line-up to The Lycett Arms this week, with Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade and Lou Sanders all joining the Channel 4 comedian for the latest edition of his unusual live pub show.

The Lycett Arms is unlike any other pub on television. Hidden behind its colourful, technicolour surroundings and distinctive paisley carpet, Joe Lycett’s fictional boozer opens for just one hour a week, from 10pm to 11pm on Friday night.

During that limited opening time, Lycett takes on the role of pub landlord as celebrities, comedians, regulars and unexpected guests descend on the pub.

Who is on The Lycett Arms this week?

Katherine Parkinson will be stepping behind the bar as this week’s celebrity pub manager, taking on the challenge of keeping The Lycett Arms under control during her trial shift.

The IT Crowd and Ghosts star will have to contend with the unpredictable atmosphere of Lycett’s pub as she attempts to navigate whatever the evening throws her way.

Meanwhile, Richard Ayoade will be making an appearance in the pub’s function room.

Ayoade is no stranger to unconventional comedy formats, having previously worked with Lycett and appeared alongside some of Britain’s biggest comedy names.

Adding to the entertainment is Lou Sanders, who takes on the role of this week’s guest comedian.

With Sanders joining the line-up, viewers can expect the usual mixture of live comedy, celebrity appearances and the possibility that events could spiral out of control before the pub closes for the night.

When is The Lycett Arms on Channel 4?

The Lycett Arms airs live on Channel 4 from 10pm to 11pm on Friday night.

Joe Lycett hosts the show from his deliberately over-the-top pub, where the format leaves plenty of room for the unexpected.

Each week, a different celebrity takes on the role of pub manager and attempts to survive their trial shift, while a comedian guest provides entertainment and a selection of famous faces and regulars fill the pub.

The result is a deliberately unpredictable hour of live television built around one of Britain’s most familiar institutions: the pub.

Channel 4 describes the series as a love letter to the great British pub, while its live format means there is always the possibility of something going wrong before closing time.

Who else appears on The Lycett Arms?

The show features a rotating selection of celebrity guests, comedians and familiar faces alongside Joe Lycett and the week’s celebrity manager.

For this week’s episode, Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade and Lou Sanders are the featured guests.

The Lycett Arms opens at 10pm on Friday night on Channel 4, with Joe Lycett once again attempting to keep his very limited opening hours from descending into complete anarchy.
