Bungling police raided a comedy club that was posting old routines on Facebook after fearing it was staging a lockdown-flouting show.
Owner Paul Blair, 33, was sitting at home enjoying the recordings of past performanes when he got a call warning him his club was swarming with cops.
Twelve officers in vans surrounded it after someone who tuned into the online show – featuring comics in front of a 200strong audience – mistakenly thought it was happening live.
Paul logged into CCTV cameras outside The Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool on Saturday to see the puzzled bobbies.
