Winehouse jibe wins Fringe's funniest gag

A tasteless jibe at the expense of galactically-talented bouffant platform Amy Winehouse has secured the Edinburgh Fringe festival's funniest gag crown for comedienne Zoe Lyons.

Lyons entertained the crowds during her Mangled Mantra of the Messed-up Modern Mind show with the winning:

"I can't believe Amy Winehouse self-harms. She's so irritating she must be able to find someone to do it for her."

[Xenophon]

"I can't believe Amy Winehouse self-harms. She's so irritating she must be able to find someone to do it for her."

Me! Me!

If that was the best gag, I think I'll hold-fire on buying tickets for next year's fringe.

The runner up was from another guy.

"Most people have skeletons in their closet. David Beckham takes his out in public."

I think the good comedians are gigging elsewhere, then.

e.g. "Overcrowding on your train? I find that by praying to Allah loudly with my rucksack worn across my chest, rather than over my back, I get the whole carriage to myself, generally speaking, in about 5 seconds."
