Gardening may not be the first pastime that comes to mind when you think of Joe Lycett, however, the popular comedian has proved he’s got quite the green fingers.
The 34 year old, who famously boycotted the World Cup in Qatar last year, regularly takes to his Instagram to update his followers on his gardening progress, alongside showing snippets of his modest Birmingham terraced house.
Amongst the comedy highlights on his profile, he’s got a fair few icons specifically dedicated to the outdoors. All of which are littered with his iconic sense of sarcastic humour sprinkled in for good measure.
From 2020’s lockdown gardening sessions where he documented his attempts of growing different fruits and veg in the most hilarious manner (his tomatoes were a particular highlight) to 2022’s landscaping progress, Joe’s outdoor journey has been quite the ride.
Right now, his backyard 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.
In terms of Joe’s indoor space, his kitchen made headlines when he convinced the Lord Mayor of Birmingham to open his new extension back in 2019.
What started as a joke (obviously, what do you expect from a comedian?), led to a public event where Yvonne Mosquito cut the ribbon to mark the end of his home improvement project.
Amongst the attendees was fellow comedian and mum of three Katherine Ryan, Soccer AM presenter Lloyd Griffith and Nick Owen from BBC Midlands Today.
Plus, BBC Radio 1 was declared as the "official radio broadcast partner" as Joe chatted live on air to Nick Grimshaw from his garden.
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.
Opting for white countertops, Joe showed off his in-built drinks cabinet and floating shelves all filled with plenty of plants and flowers. Spot a theme here?
The kitchen backs out onto the comedian’s garden, which was also featured heavily in his Instagram uploads of the ceremony.
However, a lot has been added to the outdoor space since then to turn it into the little patch of paradise that Joe enjoys today.
Other notable interior choices in Joe’s 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.
In terms of Joe’s tastes, it’s pretty clear the comedian is into a combination of rustic and contemporary, and his garden is clearly a passion.
