I started and studied my acting career in Birmingham and was welcomed with open arms ❤

[@alanrogers9597]

Joe Lycett is a harmless funny bloke, who promotes Birmingham, and celebrates the Brummy Brogue. Not everyone's cup of tea, but his antics make me smile.

[@CowmanUK]

The negative comments tell me much more about those making the comments than about Joe.

[@lizb3139]

I love Joe.He does great things for the Midlands.

"not afraid to be political"
Who is? Only people criticising left wing politics need to be afraid, why would anyone else be afraid?

[@earnestequivocation6250]

Afraid of what?
What is it with right wing girls blouse victims??

[@ellenmeilee]

Birmingham hasn’t been forgotten, it’s been ethnically cleansed, the native brummies have been forced out and replaced by the 3rd world

[@T5Zplayer]

Who cares. Remind me: gun crime? Knife crime? And just how did the council achieve bankruptcy?

[@earnestequivocation6250]

Joe’s mickey takes on Laura The Tory’s show about Truss were a laugh out loud hoot.

[@Durka-Durka01]

'Comedian' 😅

[@colinrobinson4233]

What a mess 🤡 hahaha

[@6Tabazan6]

Our beloved Brum isn't what it used to be.
Its all going skyscraper and very elitist in the city.
And a council who go
b a n k k r u p t & the people of Brum bail them out.
First job, at least try and go some way to helping the homeless in the city, not have a celebration day.
W a k e u p
