A Canadian stand-up comedian drove 150 miles to Dudley to get revenge on a man he says has trolled him for 10 years.

Bobby Mair, who lives in the UK, posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, which shows him on his way from London to confront the culprit.

He explained at a gig in Birmingham 10 years ago someone in the audience shouted ‘chicken wire’ at him.

‘I thought that was the end of it’, he added. ‘But every time I posted on my Facebook page for the last 10 years this guy comments “chicken wire, chicken wire”.

‘But he made a mistake, he used his real name, I found him on LinkedIn, and I know where he works so I am driving to 150 miles to Dudley.’

The man in question works in a mobile phone shop in the Merry Hill Centre, just outside Dudley.

In the footage, Bobby is seen striding into the shop, shouting ‘chicken wire’ a number of times, adding: ‘You trolled me for 10 years but I win. I win. You lose.’

The man, who is sitting down, laughs, as do some of the customers and shop staff.

The video – entitled ‘Revenge is best served cold 10 years later’ – has been viewed more than 1.7 million times, with scores of people leaving comments, mostly in support of the comedian.

Martin Clabon wrote: ‘This is the kind of pettiness I can really get behind.’

Many, however, wondered what exactly the ‘troll’ meant by saying ‘chicken wire’ – a mystery that appears yet to be solved.

Meanwhile, according to user, Jay Dimmock, the chicken wire man has a rather less antagonistic side to him.

Jay posted: ‘No way. This is the guy I’ve got my phones off for year. [He’s] actually amazing at his job and probably the most helpful guy in the shop.’

Bobby has appeared on a number of TV panel shows including Russell Howard’s Good News, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Sam Delaney’s News Thing and 8 Out of 10 Cats.

In July author Natasha Devon spoke about being one of the ‘most prolifically trolled people in the UK’.

Having experienced the darker sides of the web first-hand, she’s now helping young people stay happy, safe and empowered on social media.
