50 Fringe one-liners that deserved to win Funniest Joke

It's been ten years since Dave launched the Funniest Joke of the Fringe award, and there have been some worthy winners over the years. There have, however, been some unlucky losers.

Frankie Goes To Russia was actually the funniest thing on television last week, with much guffawing on the sofa in our house. His straight-to-camera narration was hilarious. Here is his novel take on the end of the Soviet Union: "Ever since David Hasselhoff brought communism to an end in 1981..."

He was also devastatingly accurate about our beloved Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson: "A cross between a head injury and an unmade bed!" But if you were looking for substance in this visit to one of the most hated countries in the world, you will have been disappointed. Substance is over-rated anyway.

Boyle did visit Rostov, which apparently has the worst hooligans in football, although the comedian only managed to find, among the local, revelling Cossacks a harmless rapper/ artist who will probably be rounded-up by Putin now for being too happy.

Welcome back to civilisation, Frankie.

Review: Frankie Boyle's New World Order

For an entertainment show Frankie Boyle's New World Order certainly takes things pretty seriously and a lot is crammed into thirty minutes. It's a shame it is Boyle on his best behaviour, but I'd rather have Boyle on his best behaviour than no Boyle at all.

With Theresa May still clinging rigidly to the frozen cliff face, as imagined in the best monologue from last year's episodes, Frankie Boyle returns with more standup, discussion and audience interaction. Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan and Mona Chalabi compete with the host's verbal grenades.
