An Australian podcaster and comedian has been left ‘mortified’ after experiencing a very awkward misunderstanding at a café.

Christian Hull, who hosted the Complete Drivel podcast, shared a photo to social media on Friday of him sitting at an outdoor café in a rainbow patterned jumper staring into space. 

The Brisbane-based social media personality has 1.9million followers on TikTok and a further 296,000 on Instagram, but was issued with a humbling reminder that online fame does not always translate to real life on Friday. 

‘I had a “main character syndrome” moment and I’m so embarrassed. Mortified. I’m at a café sitting outside and just ordered so can’t leave. Here is what happened,’ Christian began.

The comedian described a painfully awkward interaction while dining in the stylish rainbow-striped top. 

‘I hear “That’s a gorgeous jumper!”, and before even looking up or confirming that compliment was for me, I took it,’ he explained.

‘”Thank you so much,” I say, as I raise my head to look at the ladies complimenting me – only to see them talking to another woman in a green sweater.’

Christian added he was left red-faced after the humiliating misunderstanding.

‘I was loud. So loud they heard. It was so f***ing awkward because none of the four pairs of eyes looking at me addresses what’s just happened,’ he said. 

‘They weren’t even talking to me! I have no one to laugh with. Or clarify how insane this was. They go back to complimenting the green sweater. 

‘I’m sitting here opposite them waiting for my burger… so embarrassed. I just want to hide and not be seen!’

Earlier this month, Christian was caught up in another embarrassing incident at Brisbane Airport, and shared a post to social media in which he apologised to a fan for being short with them.

‘I’m on my way to Sydney to see family. I’m currently at Brisbane Airport and just suffered a HUGELY EMBARRASSING INCIDENT,’ he began.

‘Firstly to the lady that asked for a photo, and I hurried her along, I apologise. I don’t have to run to my flight, I was lying. 

‘Secondly, to the lady I heard calling my name I’m so sorry I ran away from you… here is what was happening. I P***ED MY PANTS!’

He added he was in a rush to clean up the mess and so didn’t have time to chat to his fans, as he normally would. 

‘One day I will share the full story but my pants were soaked with urine… I was running to buy new pants and board a flight. Time was of the absolute essence,’ he wrote.

‘This was so disgusting and stressful. I had cleaned myself at the bathroom but there was no way I was sitting in piss soaked pants for the next 7 hours while I travel to the Blue Mountains.

‘WHY AM I SUCH A DISASTER?’
