LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 This, according to Yahoo news, was the funniest joke at the Edinburgh Festival.... ..................... ........................ .......................... Wait for it...................... "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again." Badoom, Tshhhh If THAT is the best they could come up with, then I'm glad I didn't go! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/38/20100823/ten-best-joke-at-edinburgh-festival-frin-e9a852e.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I liked it, but I imagine it's all in the telling, the pause in just the right place, it's not the same in print. I'm hopeless at telling jokes, the timing's so important isn't it? Such as not revealing the punchline before the rest. I really like comedians who get it right, such as Tim Vine. Loved yours Debs, I've actually not heard that before! Will tell the family later, oh dear.... All time favourite? What's brown & sticky?................ ............... ................ ....a stick! (The children loved that one too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 a couple of the worst ones made me laugh more than some of the best ones Emo Philips - "I like to play chess with bald men in the park although it's hard to find 32 of them." Dan Antopolski - "How many Spaniards does it take to change a lightbulb? Juan." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millihelen Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 We saw Emo at Edinburgh - it was the highlight of the visit for me! He is still as good as the old days when he used to be on TV a lot. Kids weren't so impressed, but then it was the last night and they were tired. The worst we saw was Sean Hughes. He came out in a curly wig and a sort of military style jacket, and "Ooops, word censored!"ody reacted at all. Apparently he was supposed to be Chris Martin... I thought he had short hair?? It didn't get any better and as the act went on he seemed to blame the audience. He gave me a hard time for not recognising the name of the taxi driver who killed a lot of people in Cumbria. Also gave husband a hard time at the end for not laughing! The kids highlight of the visit was Lee Nelson's well good show - which I admit was very good.
