And the Nobel Prize for comedy goes too....

Dan Antopolski might wake up this morning with a smug grin on his face. One which combines quiet satisfaction with a big ‘fuck you all’. An athlete can win Olympic gold, Scientists its a Nobel Prize, Jade Goody its Big Brother, each has a pinnacle to reach, and Dan has reached his. Dan is a comedian who has just won ‘funniest joke’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Instantly you want to know the joke which won it for Dan, and a close second is the feeling that you want to hate the joke. Stand by….

“Hedgehogs – why can’t they just share the hedge?”

I’m sorry but did I snap my funny bone seconds before I read it? Is that it!
Looking down the top 10 jokes list didn’t help either.
(Although kudos to “I went on a girls night out recently. The invitation said ‘dress to kill’. I went as Rose West.”)

But comedy is all about the delivery, the way the joke is told.
Expressive movement – Lee Evans;
Enthusiasm – Billy Connelly;
Tone of voice - Rich Hall (deadpan) Joe Pasquale (high pitched).

(Actually scrap Joe Pasquale, he shouldn’t be mentioned as a comedian, I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire)

So next time someone tells you a joke they recently heard and they laugh in a ‘I've got piss all down me leg’ fashion - whilst you stand there with a face like your trying to keep in a massive fart. Remember that no matter how shit the joke is, if you were there, you probably would have got a hernia from laughing at an award winning joke.

(Unless it was from Jim Davidson)


P.S. It’s great to finally have an internet connection, sorry about the delay since the last post but your not bothered so never mind.
