Simmons won the funniest joke of the fringe award, chosen from a shortlist by critics and voted on by 2,000 members of the public.
I was going to sail around the globe in the world's smallest ship but I bottled it, which won applause and recognition from audiences.
Simmons expressed gratitude for the award, especially after recently being fired from his exam marking job, saying, 'I always gave 110%.'
Other notable jokes in the shortlist included clever takes on Olympics and British culture highlighting the comedic diversity at the festival.
