Edinburgh's Joke Award Takes a Year Off

The popular Edinburgh funniest joke award, a yearly highlight of the comedy festival, won't happen in 2025.

Organisers explained that they're reviewing their plans for the competition to improve its future format and impact.

This decision comes after years of both praise for boosting lesser-known comedians and criticism of its simplicity.

While the award is on hold, the Edinburgh Fringe continues, packed with thousands of shows featuring talented comedians.
