A comedian’s pun about organ donation has been judged to be the funniest at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
UK-based Masai Graham’s one-liner won the title.
The best jokes were selected by a panel of 10 judges, who scoured festival venues in the Scottish capital for over a week, and were then put to 2,000 people who voted for their favorite.
Puns making light of Brexit and US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also made the list.
The Fringe, as it is known, is billed as the largest arts festival in the world and has featured many comedians who would later go on to become household names, including Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.
