Best joke of the fringe announced:
"Ken Cheng won the 10th annual Dave's Funniest Joke Of The Fringe with: "I'm not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change."
The joke, from his show Ken Cheng: Chinese Comedian, won 33% of a public vote on a shortlist of gags picked by comedy critics."

This joke may have sounded a bit familiar to the chit chat faithful? Cast your mind back to March:

New Pound Coin

Just got one them back in a Greggs.

So I shouted at my hand "What a worthless pile of sh1t, totally awful, I hate you!" AngryAngry

"Don't like the new pound coin?" asked the shocked assistant.

"Nah .. I just don't like change."

My comedy talent is wasted on you guys, I've thought it before, it's just it needed confirmed! Wink

PS "Cheng said he came up with the joke when the government announced plans for the new 12-sided £1 coin in 2014. "

Yeahright, what's his nickname?! Says he's a poker player. Never catch a GAMBLER on betfair!

If that's the best joke at the fringe the rest must be Shyte. Sort of 'joke' you get in a cheap christmas cracker but get embarrassed reading it out.Grin

He's got another on Chinese currency which is a better Yuan.

TBF mine was better, better build up to misdirect you, better unexpected pay off. Tim Vine or Milton Jones are the master of one liners, his imho doesn't quite work so well.

Well you're allowed that opinion, and after breezing in from the poker forum in March he had 5 months to refine it, but I'll have to respectfully disagree!

Having once spent (should really say wasted) a few days visiting fringe gigs I can concur that it really is short of laughter.
Seen this on twitter and believe it originated at the fringe so maybe not all bad.

LOL that's pretty good. Well it depends on the comedian doesn't it. I'm sure many are good many are cr*p.
It's why they have to resort to hanging around chit chat to pilfer my best material.
