There's one more week to go of the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and so far thousands of jokes has been told by hundreds of comics at the biggest comedy festival in the world.
Each year, TV channel Dave hunts down the funniest gag of the fest, and 2015's prize has just been awarded to pun-slinging comic Darren Walsh. The gag? 'I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It's Hans free.'
Walsh – who, as well as performing on the circuit, has written a book of silly puns entitled 'Cheap Laughs' – said that he was, 'delighted to win this award. What a punderful feeling. Thanks Dave.' (See what he did there?)
Here's Dave's full top ten, some that narrowly missed out and a few groaners. Plus our Comedy Editor, Ben Williams, has picked some of his favourites that didn't make the list.
