Have a laugh at London frightfest

While it’s normally known for scaring the bejesus out of people rather than having them die laughing, the London Dungeon is holding a joke-filled festival this summer.

Jestival will take place from July 27 to September 1 and headline act will be the Black Jester who’ll be regaling visitors with his best gags – and guests can go against him in a joke-off, with anyone beating him in the laughter stakes getting free entry. 

Visitors can also upload their own jokes to www.thedungeons.com/london and there will be a daily attempt to break the World Record for the most jokes told in a minute.

Tickets are available from www.thedungeons.com/london with prices from £23 for adults and £17 for children.
