The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is known for showcasing some of the best comedians in the world, and this year is no exception. After weeks of shows and performances, U&Dave's Funniest Joke of the Fringe has finally been announced, and the winner is none other than Mark Simmons, with his hilarious one-liner about sailing around the world in the smallest ship possible.
It's no surprise that Mark's joke was chosen as the funniest, as it had the audience in stitches and even the judges couldn't resist its charm. But while Mark takes home the coveted title, there were plenty of other talented comedians who made it to the top 15, including Olaf Falafel, Saray Keyworth, and Alec Snook. The British public had the final say in the voting process, and they certainly chose a worthy winner.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the award, and Mark's winning joke was performed at his PHB's Free Fringe show at Liquid Room Annexe. With 40% of Brits voting for it, it's safe to say that Mark's joke was a hit with the audience. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good pun?
But choosing the funniest joke wasn't an easy task. U&Dave recruited a panel of judges, including some of the top comedy critics in the UK and fellow comedians. They attended hundreds of shows across the festival and carefully selected the ten best one-liners, which were then anonymously submitted to a public vote of 2,000 Brits. It was a tough competition, but in the end, Mark's joke came out on top.
Of course, Mark is no stranger to the Fringe. He first performed at the festival in 2014 and has been placed in the top 10 of the Funniest Joke award several times before. But this year, he finally takes home the winning title with his clever and witty joke.
Aside from the Funniest Joke award, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has seen some incredible performances and memorable moments. Comedians like Raul Kohli have even managed to convert audience members during their shows, while others have made headlines for their wild and unexpected performances. And let's not forget the impressive lineup of shows, with over 3,000 productions taking the stage at 262 venues.
It's clear that the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is a highlight of the year for both comedians and audiences alike. And with the festival still in full swing, there's no telling what other hilarious and unforgettable moments are yet to come. But one thing's for sure, Mark Simmons and his winning joke will be remembered as one of the best moments of the 2024 festival.
