The object of the game is to be the first player to end up in the center of the spiral board track and be named "Star of the Show" with comic Lenny Henry.

In order to travel along the track, the player rolls a die and moves forward that number of spaces. If he ends up on a joke track, he rolls the die again and tells a joke of one of the following 6 types:

Knock-Knock
News Flash
Limerick
Riddles
Impersonations
Tongue Twisters

If the player cannot think of a joke of the type rolled, he can look at one of the many Joke Cards that comes with the game. (These all seem to be "G" rated and many are very UK-oriented.)

After telling a joke, the player rolls the die again to get a base score. This score will be modified by certain attributes pertaining to his joke telling, which include whether he used his own joke and how a vote of the other players goes. The player then moves forward a number of spaces equal to his revised score (or backwards if his score ends up negative). His turn continues until he lands on a non-joke space.

These other spaces involve drawing event cards that give directions to be followed and some "Chutes and Ladders" type spaces.

The first player to end up in the center space by exact movement wins.
