Comedian Dan Antopolski has won a prize for the funniest joke of this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

The funnyman, who has previously been nominated for the Perrier award, picked up the trophy from TV channel Dave.

Nine comedy critics sat through thousands of jokes before choosing 27 for viewers to vote on.

The winning joke was a one-liner from 36-year-old Antopolski's show Silent But Deadly - "Hedgehogs. Why can't they just share the hedge?"

Top 10 Edinburgh Festival jokes

4, 5 & 6 are my faves.

Also Frank Woodley - "I phoned the swine flu hotline and all I got was crackling." (worst jokes)


But what's this, no Lockerbie bomber jokes, no Duke of Edinburgh jokes either....

I thought that some of their bad jokes were just as good as their winners. Overall, however, it was a pretty weak list. I read better stuff on this site on a daily basis.
