A TIGER King fan is doing a roaring trade impersonating Joe Exotic — in Hull.

Steve Kneeshaw, 51, even dresses up as the star of the Netflix series while watching Hull City FC, nicknamed the Tigers.

The dad of three bought a blond mullet wig and cap after pals told him he looked like the flamboyant zoo owner from Oklahoma.

Steve, a hypnotist, recalled: “I thought, ‘Oh my God, I actually do’.”

He now charges £25 for a two-minute video for fans and says he is stopped by people in Hull who think he is Joe.

Football fans also chanted “There’s only one Joe Exotic” at him while watching their local side.

Exotic is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence in the US for plotting to kill his rival, Carol Baskin.

Steve said: “I play this exotic character and live in Hull which is quite ­different to Joe’s surroundings. It’s a totally different climate so I’d rather be over there.”

He now wants to play Joe in a movie, adding: “I’d love to take it further.”
