Joe Lycett is back behind the bar this Friday night as Live from the Lycett Arms returns to Channel 4 — and this week’s special guest is The Celebrity Traitors star Richard E Grant.
The live comedy series returns for another hour of unpredictable entertainment, with Joe Lycett once again opening the doors of his very unusual pub for just 60 minutes.
Episode six airs on Friday, October 9 at 10pm on Channel 4, giving viewers another chance to join Joe and a selection of celebrity guests for a night where almost anything can happen.
What is Live from the Lycett Arms about?
Live from the Lycett Arms is Joe Lycett’s very own take on the traditional British pub — although this is one pub with a rather unusual opening schedule.
The Lycett Arms is open for just one hour a week, broadcasting live from its colourful, technicolour surroundings every Friday night.
Joe takes on the role of pub landlord, overseeing the evening as celebrity guests, comedians and regulars descend on the pub.
The format is deliberately unpredictable, with the live nature of the show leaving plenty of room for things to go off script.
Described as a place where people can escape the outside world while also attempting to put it to rights, the show combines comedy, celebrity guests and the familiar atmosphere of a British local.
Richard E Grant joins this week’s episode
One of the biggest names dropping into the Lycett Arms this week is Richard E Grant.
The actor is currently appearing in The Celebrity Traitors, where his involvement in the reality series has already given viewers plenty to talk about.
His appearance on Live from the Lycett Arms will see him swap the intrigue of the Traitors’ castle for Joe Lycett’s chaotic pub — although whether the Lycett Arms proves any easier to navigate remains to be seen.
Further star names appearing in the episode are set to be announced.
Who else appears on Live from the Lycett Arms?
Each week, Joe is joined by a different celebrity manager who attempts to survive a trial shift behind the scenes at the Lycett Arms.
There’s also a comedian guest, alongside a collection of famous pubgoers and the show’s friendly regulars.
The combination means viewers never quite know what will happen during the hour-long broadcast.
With the programme going out live, the possibility of something unexpected happening is very much part of the appeal.
When is Live from the Lycett Arms on Channel 4?
Episode six of Live from the Lycett Arms airs on Friday, October 9 at 10pm on Channel 4.
The programme runs for one hour, meaning the Lycett Arms will close its virtual doors at 11pm.
Viewers can watch the programme live on Channel 4, with episodes also available afterwards via Channel 4’s streaming service.
What can viewers expect this week?
The Lycett Arms promises another evening of live comedy, celebrity appearances and unpredictable moments as Joe Lycett attempts to keep control of his unusual establishment.
With Richard E Grant among this week’s guests, and more celebrity names still to be revealed, episode six could be another memorable night at the Lycett Arms.
As ever, the central rule is simple: the pub is only open for an hour — so anything that happens has to happen before closing time.
Live from the Lycett Arms airs Friday, October 9 at 10pm on Channel 4.
