Chocolate Bar Gag Wins Funniest Joke
August 30, 2013
The winning joke of Rob Auton, 30, was included among the 20 shortlisted by a group of comedy experts before the fans had any say in it.
He is from York, and has been doing stand-up since 2008. He got almost 1/4 of the total votes (24%) for his one-liner: "I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa."
Steve North, general manager Dave, said: "Now celebrating its sixth year, Dave's Funniest Joke of The Fringe continues to highlight the best one-liners coming out of the Fringe. This year's Top 10 is quick, sharp, witty and clever, and Rob is a very worthy winner."
