Tim Vine wins funniest joke prize

He's picked up an award for the funniest joke of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

His winning gag was 'I decided to sell my Hoover - well it was just collecting dust' and beat off competition from Masai Graham and Mark Watson.

The joke came from his show 'Tim Timinee Tim Timinee Tim Tim to You' and picked up 20% of the vote organised by TV channel Dave.

It's the second time he's won and was runner up for the past 3 years.

Talking about his victory, he said: "I'm a little bit surprised, but very delighted.

"This is the second time I've won this award, but I guess nobody loves a repeat more than Dave."

His last winning entry came in 2010 when he used the line: "I've just been on a once in a lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what. Never again."

Here's the top 3 jokes from the Fringe Festival 2014:

1. "I've decided to sell my Hoover ... well, it was just collecting dust" - Tim Vine.

2. "I've written a joke about a fat badger, but I couldn't fit it into my set" - Masai Graham.

3. "Always leave them wanting more, my uncle used to say to me. Which is why he lost his job in disaster relief" - Mark Watson.
