Swedish comedian Olaf Falafel won Dave’s “Funniest Joke of The Fringe” award with “I keep randomly shouting out ‘Broccoli’ and ‘Cauliflower’ – I think I might have florets”. What a moronic joke. So moronic that Tourettes Action, a charity, said the joke was about the neurological disorder, not vegetables and has asked for an apology.
Ten jokes made the 2019 shortlist. Here are the next nine, all of which are better than the above in my view. (My favourites are in blue)
“Someone stole my antidepressants. Whoever they are, I hope they’re happy” – Richard Stott
“What’s driving Brexit? From here it looks like it’s probably the Duke of Edinburgh” – Milton Jones
“A cowboy asked me if I could help him round up 18 cows. I said, ‘Yes, of course. – That’s 20 cows'” – Jake Lambert
“A thesaurus is great. There’s no other word for it” – Ross Smith
“Sleep is my favourite thing in the world. It’s the reason I get up in the morning” – Ross Smith
“I accidentally booked myself onto an escapology course; I’m really struggling to get out of it” – Adele Cliff
“After learning six hours of basic semaphore, I was flagging” – Richard Pulsford
“To be or not to be a horse rider, that is Equestrian” – Mark Simmons
“I’ve got an Eton-themed advent calendar, where all the doors are opened for me by my dad’s contacts” – Ivo Graham
