It’s that time of the year when the awards for the best jokes at the Edinburgh Fringe are announced. For your delectation I reproduce them with attributions.
The top 10 were:
- Rob Auton – “I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa.”
- Alex Horne – “I used to work in a shoe-recycling shop. It was sole-destroying.”
- Alfie Moore – “I’m in a same-sex marriage… the sex is always the same.”
- Tim Vine – “My friend told me he was going to a fancy dress party as an Italian island. I said to him ‘Don’t be Sicily’.”
- Gary Delaney – “I can give you the cause of anaphylactic shock in a nutshell.”
- Phil Wang – “The Pope is a lot like Doctor Who. He never dies, just keeps being replaced by white men.”
- Marcus Brigstocke – “You know you are fat when you hug a child and it gets lost.”
- Liam Williams – “The universe implodes. No matter.”
- Bobby Mair – “I was adopted at birth and have never met my mum. That makes it very difficult to enjoy any lapdance.”
- Chris Coltrane – “The good thing about lending someone your time machine is that you basically get it back immediately.”
