Comic Tim Vine has been crowned king of the one-liners after one of his gags was named the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.
Wisecracking Vine - who set a world record for his quickfire delivery in 2004 - beat acts including John Bishop to the award created by TV channel Dave.
Vine won for the gag: "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again."
A panel of judges made up of leading comedy critics scoured dozens of venues at the world-famous Fringe festival for a fortnight to shortlist the best and worst jokes - then they went to a public vote.
They each sat through around 60 performances with up to 7,200 jokes per judge.
Vine - brother of BBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy - was delighted with his accolade. He said: "I'm going to celebrate by going to Sooty's barbecue and having a 'sweepsteak'."
The comedian - whose world record saw him get through 499 gags in one hour - is packing audiences in for his current show The Joke-Amotive at the Pleasance Courtyard.
Steve North, channel head of Dave said: "This year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe features some 34,265 performances of 2,098 shows in 265 venues with comedy making up 35% of the programme.
"With the Dave Joke Of The Fringe we've boiled it down to the best 24 jokes on offer and let the public crown Tim Vine as the winner."
