How did the China Brothers win the British Best Joke Award?

The annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe has a special award, which is the Dave's funny joke of the Fringe. This award was voted by the public, and this year, a Chinese brother's joke won 33% of the votes in the entry of 15, and won the first place in one fell swoop. Let's see how this China brother won the Best Joke Award in Britain.

Listen to this little brother's joke. ...

Yes, it's very simple, just one sentence:

I don't like the new one-pound coin, but then again, I hate all the changes.

I don't like the new pound coin, but I used to hate all small change.

Note: In March this year, Britain began to issue a new pound coin, which changed from a circle to a dodecagon.

Want to laugh?

In fact, the word change is a pun, which can refer to the change of coins, taking care of the previous pound coins, or all changes (the introduction of new coins is itself a change).

Did you laugh? I'm not laughing anyway.

However, in recent years, too many changes have taken place in Britain. Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, early elections, terrorist attacks, the issuance of new coins and banknotes, and the silence of Big Ben ... Perhaps it is precisely because of these changes that most British people feel the same way, resulting in * * *.

At this point, you can't help but mention this little brother who tells jokes. According to the information provided by the younger brother to the British China Journal reporter:

The winner is Cheng. His mother is from Beijing and his father is from Hong Kong. Ken was born and raised in England.

His name is Ken Cheng, his mother is from Beijing and his father is from Hong Kong. Ken grew up in Britain and is a typical BBC (British-born Chinese).

Ken studied mathematics at Cambridge University since 2007, but soon dropped out of school to become a professional poker player.

In 2007, Ken was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Cambridge University, but soon dropped out of school and became a professional poker player.

He began to write comedies about six years ago. At first, it was just a hobby, and it was not until a few years ago that he regarded it as a possible career. Ken participated in the final of the new comedy broadcast by BBC on 2015, and his program "Kill Two Birds with One Stone" was a great success among the audience.

About six years ago, Ken came into contact with comedy jokes. It was just a hobby at first, and he never wanted to develop into a career. In 20 15, Ken successfully entered the final of the new comedy contest held by BBC, and captured a large number of British audiences with the performance of "Kill Two Birds with One Stone".

This year is Ken's first time to attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and it is also Ken's first time to make his mark at a world-class art festival.

He was surprised that the joke won the prize because it was a "joke".

What Ken didn't expect was that a little spit after the new pound coin was issued made him win such a great honor.

He said:

"When they announced that they would launch a new coin, I first proposed this coin in 20 14."

The idea first came into being in 20 14, when it was announced that a new coin style would be designed.

"The audience often complains a lot. I usually pursue laughter, but I will accept groans. "

The audience complained a lot about the new pound coin. I'm just trying to be funny, but I will also accept those complaints.

Ken is also very happy to win the title of best joke this time:

"As a tribute, I will name my eldest son after this award and call him a joke on the edge."

After I decided to win this prize, I named my first son "the best joke on the First Year's Day" as a souvenir.

After winning the prize, Xiao Ge quickly became an online celebrity, and his photos instantly occupied the home pages of mainstream British media such as BBC, Guardian and Mirror.

BBC: The joke of a pound coin won the Best Joke Award at Edinburgh Fringe Art Festival.

Guardian: Ken Cheng's one pound coin joke was chosen as the funniest joke at Edinburgh Fringe Art Festival.

Mirror: 15, the funniest joke selected by the audience of Edinburgh Art Festival, came out.

My younger brother expressed his satisfaction with the rapid popularity and made a wave of publicity for his program by the way.

"This is good for exposure, so I hope people will watch my program. Although this joke is not a good representation of this program, it is just a joke, but I am very proud of this program. This is a different thing, and I am very happy that I have gained exposure."

The media exposure is very good. I hope everyone will come to see my performance. Even if this joke doesn't represent my performance well, it's just a joke, and I'm very proud of my performance. It's very special and I'm glad to bring more popularity.

Let's watch a program made by a little brother. In the video, he counted 10 the most stupid English idioms and spit them out one by one. Words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Ge won the prize, domestic netizens expressed their coldness:

If the number one joke is too cold, let's feel the temperature of other entries (in order of votes):
