Help us raise some funny money!
It’s no joke that nothing raises the spirits better than a good giggle. But to produce a side-splitting edition of the Express, which will raise money for Comic Relief, we need your help.
We want your knock knocks, your chickens crossing the road and your horses walking into a bar.

Hide AdWe are asking you to text us a joke and we’ll print the best to share with other readers in the next week’s edition. The profits from all texts we receive will go straight to Comic Relief.
So if you’ve got a rib-tickler to share – whether it’s an old favourite or a contemporary classic – we want you to send it in. Please keep them short and snappy. The character limit per text is 160 characters – although you can send a longer joke and pay for two texts.
Texting’s simple. You just have to text the Newspaper keyword followed by a space, your joke and your name to 64343.
