21 NOV
If you’re planning on cracking a few jokes for Red Nose Day, you could do worse than dust off a few old favourites. It seems some classic jokes have been around a lot longer than we might think. Indeed, an ancestor of Monty Python’s famous Dead Parrot sketch has been found in a joke book dating back to 4th Century Greece. ‘Philogelos: The Laugh Addict’ has been translated from Greek manuscripts and many of the jokes are still performed today. So, next time someone groans at one of your golden oldies, tell them how old it really is!
