The Edinburgh Fringe is drawing to a close after three weeks of top notch comedy and a lot of hard work from some of the country’s best stand-ups.
But with so many events and so much to see, it would be impossible to watch every act.
Have no fear! We’ve rounded up some of the best jokes we could find to bring you Edinburgh’s finest funnies.
“My mum loves mocking me - she described my 20th birthday party as "celebrating 20 years since Alex was last inside a woman".”

“British democracy is often a choice between the least shit of two options. It's like being water-boarded, except you get a choice between sparkling or still.”

And if those didn’t float your boat, TV channel Dave has released its yearly list of the Fringe’s top ticklers.
The prize was taken home by West Bromwich-based comic Masai Graham, and their top 15 list is full of laughs.
”I’m proud and honoured to win Joke of the Fringe,” Graham said. “The funny thing is that it was Dave’s Joke of The Fringe that inspired me to become a comic. I remember picking up the paper years ago, reading the top 10 gags and wondering if I could write a decent one myself, so it feels fantastic to have actually won!”
Here’s their 15 favourites, as chosen by the British public:
“My dad has suggested that I register for a donor card. He's a man after my own heart.”
- Masai Graham
“Why is it old people say "there's no place like home", yet when you put them in one...”
- Stuart Mitchell
“I've been happily married for four years - out of a total of 10.”
- Mark Watson
“Apparently 1 in 3 Britons are conceived in an IKEA bed, which is mad because those places are really well lit.”
- Mark Smith
“I went to a pub quiz in Liverpool, had a few drinks so wasn't much use. Just for a laugh I wrote The Beatles or Steven Gerrard for every answer... came second.”

“Brexit is a terrible name, sounds like cereal you eat when you are constipated.”
- Tiff Stevenson
“I often confuse Americans and Canadians. By using long words.”

- Annie McGrath
“Is it possible to mistake schizophrenia for telepathy, I hear you ask.”
- Jordan Brookes
“Hilary Clinton has shown that any woman can be President, as long as your husband did it first.”
- Michelle Wolf
“I spotted a marmite van on the motorway. It was heading yeastbound.”
- Roger Swift

Dave is proud of its annual joke contest, which has been running for nine years.
“It pays homage to the wealth of talent on offer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe whilst shining a spotlight on the individual jokes, not just the performances,” a spokesperson said. “In fact, so as to ensure the jokes are ranked fairly, the comedian’s name or show are not revealed during the voting process - it is purely down to the jokes themselves.”
Ten judges scoured the streets of Edinburgh to come up with a shortlist of their favourite gags before putting the choice to 2,000 Brits.
