MICHAEL McIntyre found out parking in London was no laughing matter after watching his flash sports car being towed away.
The comic was filmed begging enforcement officers to leave his black Mercedes AMG GT Coupe in Derry Street, Kensington.

He even offered to pay the charge on the spot - but they removed his personal number plated £200,000 motor around 11am today.
Suited and bespectacled McIntyre, seen remonstrating alongside a male pal, left it in a bay outside popular Indian restaurant Dishoom.
Parking is believed to be temporarily restricted there due to it being near a building site.
Workers provided an audience by watching and filming the funny man as he protested his innocence.
A passerby told The Sun: 'McIntyre's car was being lifted. I walked past and said 'unlucky'. He just seemed to laugh it off and said 'oh well'.
'I think he may have been coming out of Dishoom as he was on that side. There was a load of builders all watching and filming the incident.
'McIntyre was trying to get them to put his car back down but he made sure he didn't make too much of a scene given his audience.
'He was protesting and trying to pay the two tow truck operators not to take his Mercedes away but they weren't having it.
'You could tell he was frustrated but kept himself calm. He was trying to see if he could go with them to the impound.
'The parking bay was temporarily restricted and enforced due to a building site next to it.'
Avid car collector McIntyre, 49, was pictured admiring a previous model of his top spec Merc in 2020 while parked in North London.
The Wheel host has also been seen driving a matt black £150k Ferrari, a Jaguar XK and a Range Rover which was damaged by moped muggers in 2018.
His net worth as one of the UK's biggest comedians is believed to be around £80million following bumper deals with Netflix and the BBC.
