The best joke at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been selected – and it joins a long list of previous winners.
Dave has been awarding the Funniest Joke trophy since 2009 and this year’s winner is Swedish comedian Olaf Falafel who returned to the circuit for the seventh time.
Each year, 2,000 people vote in the poll after a select number of jokes are shortlisted by a panel of experts. The award lists jokes anonymously to avoid bias towards well-known comedians
Speaking about winning the prize with his one-liner – which you can read in the gallery below – Falafel said: “It’s been really good fun. I would definitely say that winning this award has been a highlight, and just being able to make people laugh with my stupid jokes.”
Previous winners include Tim Vine, Stewart Francis and Ken Cheng.
