Best one-liners
Let’s ring out 2017 with a look back at Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, held in August. One of the comedy features is “Dave’s Funniest Joke of the Fringe,” in which the public decides the funniest one-liner from a judges’ shortlist. Here are this year’s Top 15 vote-getters, as reported by Esquire.
1. “I’m not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change.” – Ken Cheng
2. “Trump’s nothing like Hitler. There’s no way he could write a book.” – Frankie Boyle
3. “I’ve given up asking rhetorical questions. What’s the point?” – Alexei Sayle
