Brighton comedian George Egg was cracked up today after thieves stole his props.

The off-the-wall funny man has had to cancel £600-worth of gigs this weekend after losing his hallmark briefcase with all his props inside, including a bowling ball and giant tampon.

It was taken from his grey-coloured Saab outside his home in Prestonville Road last night.

George, who regularly stars at Brighton's Komedia, is offering a reward for the return of the case.

He said: "The props are no good to anyone, so I'm hoping the thieves have just dumped it somewhere."
