Today The Alexandra, Birmingham in association with Chamber Touring Ltd announces An evening with Joe Lycett & Friends with The Full Fatt Sound, a special show in celebration of the historic city-centre theatre turning 125 years old.

For one night only, on Monday 7 December, Joe will be accompanied by Birmingham’s own illustrious choir, The Full Fatt Sound. Each act will do their set and then incorporate the choir - either with a number, backing track or something else. Expect comedy, music, awkwardness… and that’s about it!

Joe’s relationship with The Alex, and journey into fame, began back in 2003 when he stepped into the shoes of Rusty Charlie in The Alexandra’s Stage Experience production of Guys and Dolls. Joe then continued to tread the boards in The Alex youth productions - Fame, Summer Holiday, West Side Story and Copacabana – until 2007.

His connection to The Alex continued as he worked as a Front of House usher from 2008 – 2010 and later, having established his stand-up comedy career, Joe filmed his More, More, More! How Do You Lycett? tour at the theatre in October 2022.

Whilst Joe continues to tour and is also due to bring his upcoming show to The Alex in 2027, An evening with Joe Lycett & Friends with The Full Fatt Sound is just for one night only, to celebrate 125 years of The Alex, bringing together some of the best in Brum!

Tickets for An evening with Joe Lycett & Friends with The Full Fatt Sound are on sale to ATG+ members from 10am this morning and on general sale from 12pm here.
