This Wednesday it's 8x8 London an event I'm hosting. Yes, hosting. 8 brilliant creatives are speaking and I'm going to try and hold the whole thing together like Terry Wogan at Eurovision with only an air horn and some poor jokes as props.
Due in no part to me the event is sold out, but I have some a handful of tickets to give away on the blog.
But I need something in return. I need design jokes. So email me your jokes and the best 4 will win a ticket. Email rather than comment as I don't want to give the punchlines away!
My email address is over here. That's kind of an initiative test.
I'm annoyed to announce that, having snapped up a ticket, I now can't make it. So I have a ticket going if anyone wants to pretend to be me. I don't have any jokes, I'm afraid.

Any chance this will be recorded, podcast perhaps?
No jokes tho, I'm not that funny :)

Will you be wearing a sparkling suit like all the best stand-ups?

And steer clear of any references to the oxo tower.

This is quite funny, but I have a ticket:

Q: How many graphic designers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Does it have to be a light bulb?

John, normally occasions like these call for the gold corduroy, but it will be too hot I'm afraid.

Already have tickets, looking forward hear you do your thing. No jokes right now apart from the above from Steve, a classic and favourite. I would change the A to; Why a lightbulb? Bit more punchy. Works well with the 8x8 identity. I will survey my guys here and email if any good ones come up.

Two designers walk into a bar, the third one raises it.
Good luck with that one.
