The Edinburgh Fringe Festival brings together comedians from all around the globe to entertain the crowds with some cracking jokes. And Rob Auton’s effort was voted in at number one.
Originally created in 1947, the arts festival is a global attraction at this stage and if comedy is your thing, then you will feel like a pig in muck while the festival is in full swing.
It sees the great and the good of the comedy world come together and English stand-up Rob Auton was awarded the prestigious award of the funniest joke of the Fringe festival with this gem.
