Comedian Joe Lycett has responded to reports he previously performed in Qatar, sarcastically suggesting he has been “caught out”.
The stand-up, 34, has been critical of David Beckham and last month threatened to destroy £10,000 of his own money unless the former footballer pulled out of his reported £10 million deal with the World Cup host, where homosexuality is illegal. He released a video which appeared to show him shredding the cash but later revealed it was a hoax and he had already donated the money to LGBTQ+ charities.
After The Sun newspaper published a story claiming he performed in the capital of Doha some seven years ago, Lycett released a statement on Twitter, reports the Press Association.
