Benedict Cumberbatch reads a letter to a man blow-drying his balls at the gym

At Letters Live in December 2024, Benedict Cumberbatch took the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall to deliver one of the most hilariously awkward letters ever written. Penned in 2011 by Ross Beeley, this open letter to a gym-goer who aired out more than just his laundry is a comedic masterpiece—and Cumberbatch’s reading takes it to a whole new level.
