Concrete Playground

Saying that your island is the funniest in the world is a big gamble. For one, you're competing against places with funny names, such as Intercourse Island. Then there's the quantative issue of islands that have a higher population of comedians, such as Great Britain.

Luckily, the World's Funniest Island isn't legally bound to accurately representing its name, though it does go to great lengths to reach the mark. For two whole days comedy-lovers have the option of being trapped on an island with an assortment of hilarious acts, running from stand-up comedy through to cheeky burlesque.

Top of the list are the international past blasters, Alexei Sayle (of the Young Ones) and The Goodies. But definitely check out local produce, such as the dubbed darlings of the Imperial Panda Festival - the Mad Max Remix, Edinburgh-storming rock act, the Axis of Awesome, and the most highbrow of events, the Erotic Fan Fiction readings.

Also, if you want to engage in an activity that is rife with pun opportunities, you're welcome to grab a camping pass for the two days on the island. Choice phrases like "Put it in there," and "I can't get it up high enough," will never be the same again.
