Guests to the London Dungeon will be treated to a double whammy of record breaks during its Jestival season as the attraction reveals the World’s BIGGEST ever playing cards AND its Black Jester makes daily attempts to break the Guinness World Record for most jokes told in a minute.

A set of four gigantic joker cards now decorate the Jestival stage - standing seven feet tall and five feet wide they are officially the largest playing cards in the World. Appearing daily on the stage is The Black Jester with a mix of jests, japes and mischief AND regular attempts to tell more jokes in sixty seconds than anyone ever before! Plus he’ll be inviting guests to top him in the funny stakes in public “joke offs” with the most hilarious getting free entry.

And there’s lots more screamingly dark fun to enjoy during Jestival at the London Dungeon.  With 18 scary fun shows, starring a cast of 20 dastardly characters bringing to life 1000 years of London’s murky past, with two thrilling rides and edge of your seat surprises thrown in.
