Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery will stage the first major solo exhibition of artwork by comedian and artist Joe Lycett, titled 'EVERY THING MUST GO', opening on July 29, 2026. The exhibition will feature dozens of new, mixed-media works exploring themes of nostalgia, grief, and loss through Lycett's signature colorful and humorous style, focusing on subjects like deceased celebrities, extinct animals, and discontinued products.
The exhibition is significant as it marks a major institutional showcase for Lycett's visual art practice, elevating his work beyond his comedic persona. It highlights the museum's commitment to engaging local cultural figures and presenting contemporary themes through a popular, accessible lens, with free admission ensuring broad public access to the show.
