A coffee-detesting Telford comic is celebrating getting one of his gags - about the caffeine-fuelled hot drink - into the top 10 list at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Marmite loving Roger Swift has been doing stand up comedy for more than 13 years and is well known in Shropshire and his pun about coffee has been listed at number seven in the top 10.
"It is wonderful to finally make it onto the official top 10 list as it's something I've wanted for such a long time. His pun in 2016 was also groan worthy. It was:"I spotted a Marmite van on the motorway. It was heading yeastbound."A panel of comedy critics is involved in finding the most hilarious jokes which are put to the public in a vote. Roger's secured a healthy 29 per cent of the poll.
