Darren Walsh, winner with his joke about German names on his phone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the past few years the TV channel ‘Dave’ has put a selection of jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe to a vote to find out which one’s the best. Here are the top 10 “funniest”:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Darren Walsh: I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It\u2019s Hans free.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Stewart Francis: Kim Kardashian is saddled with a huge arse \u2026 but enough about Kanye West.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. Adam Hess: Surely every car is a people carrier?<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Masai Graham: What\u2019s the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Dave Green: If I could take just one thing to a desert island, I probably wouldn\u2019t go.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Mark Nelson: Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fishes and a loaf of bread. That\u2019s not a miracle. That\u2019s tapas.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Tom Parry: Red sky at night: shepherd\u2019s delight. Blue sky at night: day.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> Alun Cochrane: The first time I met my wife, I knew she was a keeper. She was wearing massive gloves.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> Simon Munnery: Clowns divorce: custardy battle.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> Grace the Child: They\u2019re always telling me to live my dreams. But I don\u2019t want to be naked in an exam I haven\u2019t revised for.<\/p>\n

A shortlist of jokes was selected by a panel of judges who saw an average of 60 shows each this year, and then they were put to a vote.<\/p>\n

This year’s winner, Darren Walsh, whose show ‘Punderbolt’ is on at the Pleasance, said of winning the award, “What a punderful feeling.”<\/p>\n

Tenth place, Grace the Child, is the youngest comedian to make the shortlist at just 12 years old.<\/p>\n

What do you think about the top 10? Are there any jokes from this year’s festival that you feel should have topped this list?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
