The best joke at this year's Edinburgh Fringe has been revealed.

Comedian Masai Graham won 52% of the vote with:

"I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn’t get pasta."

He also won the title in 2016 with the joke:

"My dad suggested I register for a donor card - he's a man after my own heart."

The event, which is the world's largest arts festival, was back for the first time since 2019.

Among the top five jokes this year were:

2. Did you know, that if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it’s next-day delivery.
Mark Simmons 

3. My attempts to combine nitrous oxide and Oxo cubes made me a laughing stock.
Olaf Falafel 

4. By my age, my parents had a house and a family, and to be fair to me, so do I, but it is the same house and it is the same family.
Hannah Fairweather 

5. I hate funerals – I’m not a mourning person.
Will Mars
