    The Top 10 jokes were judged to be:
    • 1) Dan Antopolski – "Hedgehogs – why can't they just share the hedge?"

    • 2) Paddy Lennox – "I was watching the London Marathon and saw one runner dressed as a chicken and another runner dressed as an egg. I thought: 'This could be interesting'."

    • 3) Sarah Millican – "I had my boobs measured and bought a new bra. Now I call them Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes because they're up where they belong."

    • 4) Zoe Lyons – "I went on a girls' night out recently. The invitation said 'dress to kill'. I went as Rose West."

    • 5) Jack Whitehall – "I'm sure wherever my dad is; he's looking down on us. He's not dead, just very condescending."

    • 6) Adam Hills – "Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex. You know you're going to get it, but it's going to be rough."
    • 7) Marcus Brigstocke – "To the people who've got iPhones: you just bought one, you didn't invent it!"

    • 8) Rhod Gilbert – "A spa hotel? It's like a normal hotel, only in reception there's a picture of a pebble."

    • 9) Dan Antopolski – "I've been reading the news about there being a civil war in Madagascar. Well, I've seen it six times and there isn't."

    • 10) Simon Brodkin (as Lee Nelson) – "I started so many fights at my school – I had that attention-deficit disorder. So I didn't finish a lot of them."

    Maybe it's just me, the vast majority of those jokes are shite.

    Yep please don't go – it's hard enough getting tickets as it is and unless you like art, comedy, theatre, music and dance in a busy cosmopolitan atmosphere then you won't really like it. Why not stay in and watch the Eastenders omnibus instead?

    The BBC has the 'worst' ones as well- some of them were better.

    I agree and here they are:

    Carey Marx – "I'm not doing any Michael Jackson jokes, because they always involve puns about his songs. And that's bad."

    Frank Woodley – "I phoned the swine flu hotline and all I got was crackling."

    Alex Maple – "Michael Jackson only invented the moonwalk so he could sneak up on children."

    Phil Nichol – "She's got a face like a rare Chinese vase – minging."

    Alistair McGowan – "I've just split up from my girlfriend, which is a shame, because it was a long-standing arrangement. Perhaps if we'd sat down a bit more…"

    I chuckled.

    I'd wager that reading jokes of a web page is different from actually being there, what with the atmosphere and delivery adding to the way you react to the jokes.
