The Curious Case of Two Chris Martins And One Coldplay

Saturday’s Coldplay concert in Mumbai led to a hilarious confusion.

How many of you know of a British comedian named Chris Martin?

Kudos to those who do.

The ones who don’t – well, welcome to the club.

Saturday’s Coldplay concert and Chris Martin (the singer, of course) was enough to drive thousand of overly-excited people to the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai.

While many went back home, tagging Coldplay on their Twitter handles, a few others made an honest mistake – they tagged the wrong Chris Martin.

To the 500 Indian followers I gained in the last day I'm not in Coldplay. I'm sure Chris was great in Mumbai but I can't pass on the message

Being true to form, Martin (the comedian, folks) used this as a plank to make jokes, all in good British humour.

Might as well cash in on this

New Indian followers if I do a comedy show in India will any of you come?

@ChrisMcomedy right I'm going to book out a theatre in Mumbai. It will have no songs. Just jokes about owls and Dogs. Who's coming?

How could his Twitter bio not reflect the amusement?

On being questioned about whether he feels “proud” to share the same name as the singing legend, Martin came up with another quip.

@_ColdplayFixMe_ I feel more blessed to have the same name as this guy https://t.co/pregRn46wj

Free Passes, Sachin?

He even tweeted to Sachin Tendulkar, asking him for tickets of the next text match.

.@ChrisMcomedy Hi @sachin_rt as we're now great mates and I've got loads of new Indian fans.
You got any tickets for the next test going?
