Comedian Proves Why You Should Never Send Him Hate Mail

If you've never heard of him, you should know that Joe Lycett is a brilliant comedian. He's a familiar face on 8 of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and in this clip he explains what happened after someone sent him some hate mail.

If you don't fancy watching it, basically 'Brian' contacted Joe via email - but forgot that his email signature from work was still active. The best part? He just happens to work for a solicitors. Ouch.

This then led to some hilarious back and forth that culminated in a single word - shit.

Absolutely brilliant. Well done, Joe.
