Bristol laughs all the way to top of funniest city poll

BRISTOL has been crowned Britain’s comedy capital after beating off tough competition from Liverpool and Birmingham, according to a survey published yesterday.

The city, home of the Little Britain character Vicky Pollard and bearded comedian Justin Lee Collins, is not famed for its sense of humour.

But researchers from Reader’s Digest found people living in Bristol were more up for a laugh than anywhere else in Britain.
