Joe Lycett invites Lord Mayor of Birmingham to the opening of his kitchen extension in hilarious email exchange
Comedian Joe Lycett has been trying to pull together a bash like no other - the grand opening of his new kitchen extension.
In an email exchange posted to Twitter, the Birmingham comedian invited Lord Mayor of Birmingham Councillor Yvonne Mosquito to the opening at his 'mid-terrace property in south Birmingham'.
The original message from Joe stated that when he purchased the property, it had an outhouse with an 'asbestos roof' that he had arranged to have rebuilt, extending the kitchen into the garden.
The 30-year-old TV star told the Lord Mayor it would be 'particularly delightful in the summer' and that he was writing to ask if she would 'consider the honour of unveiling the aforementioned kitchen extension'.
He went on to say that he would 'have a commemorative plaque commissioned with the agreed date and your name on it which will be affixed to the new extension', to be unveiled with a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony.
Joe finished the email promising to invite 'many local people and dignitaries, plus Paul Chuckle' and that 'sometime in June or July works well' for him.
A representative for the Lord Mayor responded to Joe's hilarious offer, thanking him for the kind invitation and stating that 'in the same way that the Lord Mayor does not attend weddings and funerals because they are classed as private events, they do not attend events as you have described'.
They went on to congratulate Joe with the grand opening of his kitchen extension, and that they hope he has a 'lovely time'.
The comical exchange comes ahead of the comedians new show Got Your Back, set to air of April 5 on Channel Four.
The show will see Joe, famed for his epic battles with petty officials and dodgy scammers, fight for the consumer rights of the Great British public.
With the help of his assistant Mark Silcox, a weekly celebrity guest, and hidden camera investigations, Joe campaigns on behalf of viewers who've been wronged by big corporations, caught out by small print, and hoodwinked by fraudsters.
