Edinburgh Fringe reveals top 10 jokes as comedian wins award with spaghetti gag

A comedian has won an award for the best joke at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a gag about spaghetti.

Masai Graham won with the hit one-liner: "I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn't get pasta." It is the second time Masai has won the prestigious award after delivering a joke in 2016: "My dad suggested I register for a donor car - he's a man after my own heart".

The West Bromwich comedian said he is "so delighted" to win the award again. The Funniest Joke of the Fringe award is run by the TV channel Dave and uses a shortlist created by a panel which is then voted on by the public.
