Text us a joke and you can win a funny prize!

There’s nothing like a good laugh to raise the spirits and we want to have a side-splitting edition of our paper that week – and to raise money for the appeal.

But we need your help. We want your knock knocks, your chickens crossing the road and your horses walking into a bar.

And one person who texts in will win a top prize courtesy of Jongleurs comedy club and Oceana nightclub in Leeds.

Jongleurs is giving away a pair of tickets for one of its comedy nights, which promises up to four top comedians in a 90-minute show. It is also throwing in a meal for two at the comedy club.

The prize also includes entry to the multi-award winning nightclub Oceana, with its six bars and two nightclubs. We are asking you to text us a joke and we’ll print the best to share with other readers. And we’re giving the profits from all texts sent straight to Comic Relief.

The prize will be valid for a Friday night of the winner’s choice.

So if you’ve got a rib-tickler to share, send it in. Please keep jokes short and snappy. The character limit per text is 160 characters, although you can send a longer one and pay for two texts.

Text the keyword DRSJOKE followed by a space, your joke and your name to 64343. Example: DRSJOKE [space] How do you know an elephant’s been in your fridge? Footprints in the butter. Steve Taylor, Dewsbury.

Terms and Conditions: Keep your funnies clean and suitable for reproduction in our newspaper. Texts to this service will be reverse billed at a £1 tariff. All profits will be donated to Comic Relief. Unsuitable or unusable jokes will not appear but will still be charged.
