The year's funniest fringe

Dan Antopolski was awarded this year's Edinburgh Fringe Funniest Joke for this 'gem'.

"Hedgehogs - why can't they just share the hedge?"

Some of rest of the top 10 were:

Paddy Lennox - "I was watching the London Marathon and saw one runner dressed as a chicken and another runner dressed as an egg. I thought: 'This could be interesting'."

Jack Whitehall - "I'm sure wherever my dad is; he's looking down on us. He's not dead, just very condescending."

Marcus Brigstocke - "To the people who've got iPhones: you just bought one, you didn't invent it!"

Rhod Gilbert - "A spa hotel? It's like a normal hotel, only in reception there's a picture of a pebble."

Dan Antopolski - "I've been reading the news about there being a civil war in Madagascar. Well, I've seen it six times and there isn't."

Simon Brodkin (as Lee Nelson) - "I started so many fights at my school - I had that attention-deficit disorder. So I didn't finish a lot of them."

You'll thank me for not sharing the 'worst jokes' list...

So, do you reckon any of these will make a sermon illustration in the next few weeks?
