Is that a glass elephant in your hand or are you just happy to see me? OK, I’ll leave the jokes to Stewart…

A panel from excellent Brit TV channel, “Dave“, have compiled their Top 10 Jokes from the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Here they are:

 

10. Nish Kumar

My mum’s so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… she wouldn’t fancy her chances.

 

9. Lou Sanders

I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: “It’s not rocket salad.”

 

8. Stewart Francis

I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting!

7. George Ryegold

Pornography is often frowned upon, but that’s only because I’m concentrating.

 

6. Tim Vine

I took part in the sun tanning Olympics. I just got Bronze.

 

5. Chris Turner

I’m good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet. I don’t know Y.

 

4. Rob Beckett

You know you’re working class when your TV is bigger than your book case.

 

3. Will Marsh

I was raised an only child, which really annoyed my sister.

 

2. Tim Vine

Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly.

 

1. Stewart Francis – Best Joke of the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks.

 

It’s not the one I would have chosen but I’m still chucking from Nish Kumar’s joke in 10th place, so maybe I’m not the best judge …
