    Excerpts from the Edinburgh Fringe 2005

    I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat.
    - Marcus Brigstocke at the Assembly Rooms

    Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation.
    - Jimmy Carr

    The right to bear arms is slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm
    bears.
    - Chris Addison at the Pleasance

    My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most
    of our family holidays in Customs.
    - Patrick Monahan at the Gilded Balloon

    The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be
    sh*tting herself.
    - Colin & Fergus at the Pleasance

    My parents are from Glasgow which means they're incredibly hard, but I
    was never smacked as a child ... well maybe one or two grams to get me
    to sleep at night.
    - Susan Murray at the Underbelly

    Is it fair to say that there'd be less litter in Britain if blind
    people were given pointed sticks?
    - Adam Bloom at the Pleasance

    My mum and dad are Scottish but they moved down to Wolverhampton when
    I was two, 'cause they wanted me to sound like a tw*t.
    - Susan Murray at the Underbelly

    You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you,
    because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite
    flower?" And you murmur to yourself: "Sh*t, I wasn't listening..
    Self-raising?"
    - Addy Van-Der-Borgh at the Assembly Rooms

    The world is a dangerous place; only yesterday I went into Boots and
    punched someone in the face.
    - Jeremy Limb, at the Trap

    I saw that show, 50 Things To Do Before You Die. I would have thought
    the obvious one was "Shout For Help".
    - Mark Watson, Rhod Gilbert at the Tron

    I went out with an Irish Catholic. Very frustrating. You can take the
    Girl out of Cork...
    - Markus Birdman at the Pod Deco

    Got a phone call today to do a gig at a fire station. Went along.
    Turned out it was a bloody hoax.
    - Adrian Poynton at the Pleasance

    Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a
    winner and a loser at the same time.
    - Demetri Martin at the Assembly Rooms

    A dog goes into a hardware store and says: "I'd like a job please".
    The hardware store owner says: "We don't hire dogs, why don't you go
    join the circus?" The dog replies: "What would the circus want with a
    plumber".
    - Steven Alan Green at C34

    Hey - you want to feel really handsome? Go shopping at Asda.
    - Brendon Burns at the Pleasance

    I like to go into the Body Shop and shout out really loud "I've
    already got one!"
    - Norman Lovett at The Stand

    It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.
    - Chris Addison at the Pleasance

    I enjoy using the comedy technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not
    very good at it.
    - Arnold Brown at The Stand

    If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a
    tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire.
    They're trained for that.
    - Milton Jones at the Underbelly.
