Edinburgh Fringe 2018

Adam Rowe conquered the 11th annual Dave’s Funniest Joke Of The Fringe award this year with the line:

“Working at the Jobcentre has to be a tense job – knowing that if you get fired, you still have to come in the next day.”



After sifting through the best 50 jokes this is my top 10:

1. It’s really hard to define ‘virtue signalling’, as I was saying the other day to some of my Muslim friends over a fair-trade coffee in our local feminist bookshop.
Lucy Porter

2. I remember my first date with my wife. She gave me butterflies, which was an odd gift.
Scott Bennett

3. Words can’t express how much I hate World Emoji Day.
Christian Talbot

4. I live in a bungalow, which is nice but it does have one major flaw.
Jake Lambert

5. I’m not rich and I need a solicitor, so if you know any pro bono lawyers you can introduce me to that would be great. If you know any anti-Bono ones that’s even better.
Jon Harvey

6. Thing is, we all just want to belong. But some of us are short.
Lou Sanders

7. St Anthony is the patron saint of lost things. Because he famously coined the phrase ‘Where did you have it last?”
Rory O’Keeffe

8. I recently found out that I am genetically connected to a Native American tribe. The first thing I thought was “How?”
Brennan Reece

9. I saw a woman in a t-shirt with ‘SMASHING PATRIARCHY’ on it. Nice to see that some of them appreciate the hard work we put in.
Leo Kearse

10. I took my nephew on the swings, he kept complaining that it goes up too high. I said “Shut up and push”.
Nick Dixon
