The funniest one-liner from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been announced.
A panel of comedy critics spent a week watching shows at the largest arts festival in the world which runs for most of August.
They compiled a shortlist of the 15 best one-liners which were then voted on by the public to determine the winner.
This year's top spot was taken out by former professional poker player turned comedian, Ken Cheng, for his joke about a coin.
"I'm not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change."
