A standup comedian who works part-time as a care worker on minimum wage has topped a poll of the funniest jokes at the Edinburgh festival fringe for the second time.
Masai Graham, who works with severely autistic young adults in the West Midlands and uses his annual leave to attend the Edinburgh fringe, got the backing of 52% of 2,000 people for his one-liner: “I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn’t get pasta.”
