This is very funny and very uncomfortable at the same time.

Plenty of Irish funny people have made a huge impact across the pond in recent years and Sean Burke is seeking to become the latest one, having just had a comedy pilot, Hollywood Hijack, released by Channel 4 online. In the pilot, Wicklow native Seán, who we have featured on JOE in the past, basically makes an arse himself in front of celebrities. It's a simple enough premise and Sean proves more than up to the task. Here in his first outing, he picked some pretty good ones, with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Rob Brydon and Emily Blunt all made to feel uncomfortable in his presence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNrPgGN_Xzo Clip via Channel 4 It takes balls to embarrass yourself in front of famous people as Seán has done and we can only wish him the best with Hollywood Hijack in future.
