Amy Winehouse 'Self-Harm' Joke Voted Funniest At Edinburgh Fringe

A joke which mocks Amy Winehouse's troubles has been voted the funniest joke at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe festival.

Zoe Lyons' joke - “I can't believe Amy Winehouse self-harms. She's so irritating she must be able to find someone to do it for her.” - won a public vote.

The joke featured in the comedian's show, Mangled Mantra of the Messed-Up Modern Mind.

She said she was “delighted” to have won the award. “I know self-harming is not funny but it's just a joke, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it," she added.

Second place in the vote by TV channel Dave went to comedian Andrew Laurence, with his joke: "Most of us have a skeleton in the cupboard. David Beckham takes his out in public."

The Fringe festival, which celebrates art and culture, ends this weekend following a month of performances.
