ARE you ready to die laughing? Famous for fiendish fun, The London Dungeon will be tickling or torturing guests with a festival of jests, jokes and macabre mischief at Jestival from July 27 to September 1. 

Headlining the alternative Festival is the Black Jester whose manic mind will be causing mayhem as he regales visitors with his very best jokes.

Guests will be dared to go up against him in a ‘joke off’ with the funniest jokes winning free entry - at the discretion of the Black Jester.

Impressive or disturbing, the best and worst jokes posted at thedungeons.com/london will be pinched by the Black Jester for his own routine.

Plus expect horribly high-speed humour, with daily attempts to break the World Record for the most jokes told in a minute.

And there’s lots more screamingly dark fun at The London Dungeon, now in the vast underground vaults of County Hall on the Southbank, with 18 brand new shows, starring a cast of 20 dastardly characters  bringing to life 1,000 years of London’s murky past, plus two thrilling rides and edge of your seat surprises.

The best prices are online at thedungeons.com/London with prices from £22 for adults and £16.50 for children.

Enjoy a whole London day out and save 25 per cent with combination tickets for the  London Dungeon, EDF Energy London Eye, Sea Life London Aquarium and Madame  Tussauds.

The nearest tube stations are Waterloo or Westminster.

News Shopper has teamed up with the London Dungeon to giveaway four tickets to six lucky readers.
