Mark Simmons Wins Funniest Joke at Edinburgh Fringe with Sailing Pun

The comedian's one-liner tops the list in a public vote, marking his first win after multiple top finishes in previous years.

Simmons' winning joke: 'I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship but I bottled it.'
The joke was chosen by 2,000 members of the public from a shortlist compiled by comedy critics.
Simmons has been a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2014, with previous jokes placing in the top 10 multiple times.
The award, given by the TV channel U&Dave, has been a Fringe tradition for 15 years.
Other top jokes this year included puns about salsa lessons, horse meat, and the Olympics.
