A comedian has shown he hasn’t gone off the boil – by winning the award for the best joke at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a gag about spaghetti.

Masai Graham triumphed with this one-liner… “I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn’t get pasta.”

It is the second time he has won the accolade. He was victorious in 2016 with this joke… “My dad suggested I register for a donor card – he’s a man after my own heart.”

Masai, from West Bromwich, said he is “so delighted” to win again. The Funniest Joke of the Fringe award is run by TV channel Dave.

A panel created a shortlist which was voted on by the public.

2. Mark Simmons: Did you know, if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it’s next day delivery.

3. Olaf Falafel: My attempts to combine nitrous oxide and Oxo cubes made me a laughing stock.

4. Hannah Fairweather: By my age, my parents had a house and a family, and to be fair to me, so do I – but it is the same house and it is the same family.

6. Olaf Falafel: I spent the whole morning building a time machine, so that’s four hours of my life that I’m definitely getting back.

7. Richard Pulsford: I sent a food parcel to my first wife. FedEx.

8. Tim Vine: I used to live hand to mouth. Do you know what changed my life? Cutlery.

9. Sophie Duker: Don’t knock threesomes. Having a threesome is like hiring an intern to do all the jobs you hate.

10. Will Duggan: I can’t even be bothered to be apathetic these days.
