The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is shaking things up. Organizers have scrapped the popular "Dave's Joke of the Fringe" award for 2025. This long-running competition, a highlight of the world's largest arts festival, will not return.
The decision, announced this week, has sparked discussion within the comedy community. "Dave's Joke of the Fringe" offered a £10,000 prize to the comedian with the funniest joke.
Several alternative awards are emerging to fill the void. These new options aim to celebrate comedic talent at the Fringe.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a massive annual event in Scotland, showcases a wide range of performances. It's known for its vibrant atmosphere and cutting-edge comedy.
