Joe Lycett

Joe Harry Lycett, also known by the self-given moniker Mummy, and briefly legally known as Hugo Boss, is an English comedian, painter and television presenter. Known for his sardonically camp style, whimsical public stunts and elaborate set designs, Lycett has been described as one of Britain's most popular comedians.

Lycett began performing stand-up in 2009 and won the Chortle Student Comedian of the Year the same year. He has appeared on TV shows including Live at the Apollo, Taskmaster, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, as the announcer on Saturday BBC One show Epic Win, the narrator for Ibiza Weekender and as the presenter on BBC Two's The Great British Sewing Bee and Channel 4's Joe Lycett's Got Your Back and Late Night Lycett.

In February 2020, Lycett briefly changed his name by deed poll to Hugo Boss as part of a protest against the fashion brand of the same name. He is also recognised as one of Britain's most high-profile queer or pansexual men, and has partaken in advocacy for the LGBTQ community on many occasions.
