Comic Vine voted Edinburgh’s king of the one-liners

COMIC Tim Vine was crowned king of the one-liners yesterday after one of his gags was named the best joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Wisecracking Vine, who set a world record for his quick-fire delivery in 2004, beat acts including John Bishop to the award created by TV channel Dave.

Vine won for the gag: “I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what – never again.”
