Joe Lycett has long been a beacon of pride for Birmingham. As a comedian, writer, and presenter, Joe has brought laughter, joy, and an authentic voice from Birmingham to audiences both nationally and internationally. With his unique brand of humour and activism, he has not only entertained, but also stood up for social issues, often bringing a spotlight to causes that need attention. Yet, amidst all his achievements, there is still one landmark in his beloved city that hasn’t officially recognized his contributions: Broad Street.

Broad Street in Birmingham is renowned for its Walk of Stars, honouring those who have made significant contributions to the arts and entertainment, with names like Ozzy Osbourne, Julie Walters, and Jasper Carrott. It's time Joe Lycett is celebrated among these icons for his exemplary work and being an ambassador for Birmingham's spirit and creativity.

Joe's impact is undeniable. From his television specials to his tireless charity work and unwavering support for LGBTQ+ rights, he embodies a modern icon. He has used his platform to address critical societal issues with wit and intelligence.

Awarding Joe a star on Broad Street would not only be a well-deserved honour but also a way for the city of Birmingham to give back to a hometown hero who continues to make the city proud. In doing so, it would inspire future generations of Brummies to embrace their roots, pursue their passions, and stay true to their values.

Let's recognize Joe Lycett's rightful place among Birmingham's celebrated figures. Sign this petition to urge city officials and the Broad Street Walk of Stars Committee to acknowledge Joe Lycett's invaluable contributions to Birmingham and beyond. Together, we can ensure his legacy is cemented in the very streets where it all began.
