What time did the man go to the dentist?
Tooth hurt-yโฆ.
Okay, Iโll get my coat. Leave it to the professionals, one of whom announced this morning, Devizes is on his hitlist. Husband of comedy supremo Sarah Millican, and king of the one-liners, Gary Delaney delivers his hilarious tour, “Gary in Punderland,โ to our honoured little town on Thursday 5th May 2022, appearing at the Corn Exchange……

The double Sony Award Winner and Chortle Award nominee is a regular on Mock The Week. Gary is the only comic ever to have got two gags in the same top 10 for Daveโs TV Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe, and his current tour took in over 200 venues; weโre so glad to hear heโs heading our way. After selling out his Andover show, and in the absence of a Swindon show, it was decided that Devizes offered the best central location, and easiest access in Wiltshire to attract his fans. Devizions love a bit of joking about, look at the councillors we elected….ba boom!!

If youโre hunting for snark, Garyโs got it covered! Not one to get too bogged down in serious stuff, like political and social observations, he leaves that to other comedians. Gary Delaney is known for his machinegun rapid, quick fire one liners, which take you away from your daily lives for the evening, something Iโd imagine we all could do with. He loves each and every gag, and you canโt help but be carried away by his infectious charm. Heโs like a cheeky schoolboy who can barely hide his glee with each and every punchline.
Courtesy of Sheer Music, weโve been holding onto this news for a while, aching to tell you, honest! So, if youโre ready to dive into a rabbit hole of the best jokes in the world, star of Live at the Apollo and sell-out sensation Gary Delaney is your man.

WIN A COUPLE OF TICKETS!!
But to help you prepare, and you know, to celebrate this fantastic news, I want you to think up your best one liner, the very crรจme de la crรจme of your wit, and either send it to us using the box below, or commenting on the Facebook share of this article. Facebook users, ensure youโve liked our page, invited your friends to like it too, and shared the post; I will be checking!
Also, ensure you have commented on the official Devizine Facebook page’s post, and not those shared to other groups and pages, I cannot trace them all, hunting for your joke, no matter how bad it might be; for that’s a joke in itself!
Closing Date for this competition: 4th October 2021. You must be over 18 to enter the competition.
Meanwhile Iโm going to arrange for a score of top comedy judges to decide on the best one, (which will more than likely be my daughter and I, or if we can, Gary Delaney might help!) and they will WIN TWO FREE TICKETS! Note, this event is strictly 16+, and wheelchair access and seats are available.
Otherwise, tickets are set at ยฃ20, and available from SeeTickets and TicketSource online.
