Comedian Al Murray reveals yobs have stolen his famous Pub Landlord costume after smashing into his car boot

Al Murray has revealed his famous Pub Landlord costume has been stolen after thieves smashed into his car boot.

Taking to X, the stand-up comic posted a picture of the empty boot of his grey Mercedes, which had seen the glass smashed, with the caption: ‘Congratulations to the thief who will soon be dressing up as the Pub Landlord.’

Mr Murray posted the photo this morning after he had performed a show as the iconic character at the Princess Hall in Aldershot on Thursday night.

The Pub Landlord character – an opinionated English publican with an animosity towards the Germans and French – has often been seen on TV shows including the series Time Gentlemen Please and Fact Hunt.

It is not clear where the theft of the costume took place, but the comedian did tag in the Metropolitan Police’s social media page into his post. 

MailOnline have approached both the Met and Hampshire Police for a comment.
