Narrating more than 20 complete jokes in a minute not waiting for the audience to break into laughter is a tough call, but someone did just that by narrating 24 jokes in 60 seconds and that is the present Guinness World Record for most jokes narrated in a minute.

Employee of the BSNL Visakhapatnam district and secretary Visakha Humour Club Nanduri Prabhakar, who has more than couple of records under his belt, including a 50-hour non-stop narration of jokes, is set to break the record for most jokes in a minute on Wednesday, he told the mediapersons here on Monday. He has chosen that date as it is unique 11-12-13, he added.

Mr. Prabhakar has done the BSNL proud with his record-breaking achievements and the entire team of BSNL Visakhapatnam wishes him all the best in his future endeavours, District Telecom Manager R.M.M. Krishna said. The record-breaking effort to be held at Kalabharati Auditorium on Wednesday evening would be recorded and verified and sent to Guinness authorities,
