Glasgow has been voted the funniest Scottish city in a new poll from Comic Relief ahead of Red Nose Day later this month.
The west coast city came out on top in Scotland and was deemed to be fifth funniest in the UK in a poll of 2,000 adults.
And it was helped by the number of popular comedians to come out of the city - with the likes of Frankie Boyle, Janey Godley and The Big Yin Billy Connolly all hailing from Glasgow.
Edinburgh, which is the home city of the world-famous Fringe festival, came eighth among the top 20 UK cities, with Aberdeen in 15th.
Liverpool, London and Newcastle made up the top three.
The poll was commissioned to celebrate Red Nose Day, which will take place on Friday, March 19 this year.
It also found that the typical adult laughs nine times a day - and makes others chuckle on six occasions on a daily basis.
Sir Lenny Henry, Comic Relief co-founder, said: “We all need cheering up, so this year Red Nose Day will be a bit different.
“Of course we want to raise as much money as possible for people who really need it in the UK and around the world.
“But we also want to make you smile and bring you some laughter over the coming weeks.”
The study found sarcasm to be the king of comedy gags, with 26% of people polled saying it is their favourite form of humour.
More than eight in 10 people consider themselves to have a good sense of humour, with more than one in 10 claiming to be the funniest person they know.
Almost half of people (48%) reckon they are funnier than their partner.
More than three quarters of respondents (76%) said that humour has been key in getting them through the stresses of lockdown.
Red Nose Day has launched its 'Share a Smile' campaign which is encouraging people to put their favourite joke in their window - and you can download the poster
