Saw this earlier. Only one made me lol - the 18 cows one. Therefore, that gets my vote. Winning joke was meh.
Very surprised to see this on BBC news...
.... surely Tourette's syndrome sufferers all over the world are deeply offended

Winner imho isn't that good at all. The "thesaurus" joke was just cracked 2 minutes ago by the host of "impossible" and it'll have been recorded months ago.
2,4,8,9 are pretty good.

Disappointing choice for Jones, he's very good and I'm sure had better.
I can tell you that Nish is right royally miffed off not to make this year's top 10.
If you've ever been to the fringe you'll know this is as good as it gets.
Jerry Sadowitz excellent comedy/magic routine and one of the few exceptions to the above.
2 okay but heard it before.

Not one of those gags tickled my funny bone personally, all decidedly mediocre at best. I did like Tim Vine's winner a few years ago, "I took my wife on a once in a lifetime world cruise holiday...never again."
From BBC - A charity for people with Tourette's syndrome has asked a comedian to apologise for his award-winning joke made at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The chief executive of the UK's Tourettes Action charity said the "rubbish" joke had brought "shame on Dave".
Sounds like she is steaming.

Remember, as Frank Carson used to remind us, it's the way you tell them 
First winner of the Best Fringe Award was the guitarist for Slade. True story.
Number 4 is a Tim Vine joke except it's sheep not cows. To think that was shortlisted is an udder disgrace.
Have they banned Vine from winning it, he can do better than most of the above in his sleep.
Pathetic Box Ticking shyte Festival , what else would anyone expect .
Spot on Case, bored me to tears. A whole day ruined. I kept thinking it can only get better. It didn't.
Bercrow paid a Visit Aka that tells us all we need Know , Plenty of Back slapping and Smiles from our Friends ,The Place to be.
The best one liner at the festival was the Spanish cruise ship comedian.
I took out a loan to pay for an Exorcism. If I don't pay it back I'll be repossessed.
4 IS a disgrace.
Defo heard it before, thanks for reminding me who it was.

I read all those, jokes !!!..I've read better jokes from xmas crackers in poundland .
Slippy Blue... you reminded me of another similar joke, where a husband asked his wife 'fancy a round the World Cruise?'...she replied
'Can't we go somewhere else instead?'
'Can't we go somewhere else instead?'
Olaf Falafel claims to be "Sweden's 8th funniest" comedian. He is a surrealist comedian and illustrator and also works as a children's book author.
He has performed two shows this year in Edinburgh, the first was It's One Giant Leek for Mankind. His second show is called Knitting with Maracas.
On his joke claiming the top spot, Falafel said: "This is a fantastic honour but it's like I've always said, jokes about white sugar are rare, jokes about brown sugar... demerara."

Sadowitz is excellent - probably a bit too politically incorrect to get any awards though.
I saw him over 20 years ago and one of his visual gags was called
"The Last Flight of Superman" whereby he raised one arm,
violently thrust himself forward off a chair and landed flat on his face.
I don't understand why #6 is funny. If you enjoy sleep, why would you get up?
Sadowitz is still brill - saw him in Liverpool recently, and he was absolutely on it, sadly one of the punters had a heart attack near the end and everyone had to leave in silence - robbed Jerry of a hugely deserved standing ovation (the guy was fine by all accounts)
