Edinburgh Fringe funniest joke
BBC News
Comedian Nick Helm has won an award for the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.
The up-and-coming funnyman was given the prize by digital TV channel Dave, whose panel put a selection of their favourites to a public vote.
He won for the joke: "I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."
Last year's winner, quick-fire joker Tim Vine, was beaten into second place by Helm.
