A competition to find funny jokes from this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been won by Masai Graham. Here are the top 10:

3. "Me and my ex were into role play. I'd pretend to be James Bond and she's pretend she still loved me." - Tom Mayhew

4. "The roman emperor's wife hates playing hide and seek because wherever she goes Julius Caesar." - Adele Cliff

5. "Marvin Gaye used to keep a sheep in my vineyard. He'd herd it through the grapevine." - Leo Kearse
