Joe Lycett has revealed that an audience member at one of his shows was so offended by a joke he made that they called the police.
Comedian and former host of The Great British Sewing Bee Joe is currently on tour across the UK on his More, More, More: How do you Lycett tour, but clearly his gags didn't go down particularly well with one person who came along to see him as the 33-year-old has shared the fact that he was spoken to by police after a complaint was made.
Joe took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a note in which he'd written: "So someone came to my tour show a few weeks ago and was offended by one of the jokes. And their perfectly understandable response to this was...to call the f**king police."

He continued "To be fair to them, the fuzz were very nice about it all but felt they had a duty to investigate. This involved me writing a statement explaining the context of the joke for them; I particularly enjoyed putting the words 'giant donkey d**k,' into a message yo a police detective.
"Charmed, and hopefully amused, the rozzers have since closed the matter. You'll be pleased to know that the joke - which I consider to be one of the best I've written written - remains firmly and proudly in the show."
He ended the post: "The tour continues until September, unless I am jailed."
One of Joe's fans who's also been to see him in tour, replied: "We saw you in Derry the night after this 'incident' and am very relieved to hear that the giant donkey d**k is intact," with another responding: "In fairness, the coppers were more than likely stoked to meet you , and it would have been the most amusing investigation they’ve been involved in!"
