Press clippings

This year's Edinburgh Fringe officially launched on 4 August, with more than 1,400 comedy shows listed in the programme. So kudos to the Telegraph Culture desk who published the definitive "30 funniest jokes at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe" two days before the festival began.

The increasingly corporate Fringe has seen PR agents being hired by acts who are hoping to get noticed (all of them) and have cash to splash on the expense (not all of them). Almost a quarter of the comedians who made The Telegraph's telepathic list were represented by the same agency, Impressive PR.

Where does this leave talented acts without PR? Comedian Tom Little tweeted: "Fair play to the Telegraph for instinctively known there is no way a PR-less piece of shit like me could possibly have a joke funnier than these ones."
