"The jokes have been published in a multimedia online book, which includes video of veteran British comedian Jim Bowen performing the jokes for a 21st century audience."
Google doesn't seem to have a great selection of the Philogelos, but there are some amusing jokes in there:
9) Wishing to teach his donkey not to eat, a pedant did not offer him any food. When the donkey died of hunger, he said: “I’ve had a great loss. Just when he had learned not to eat, he died.”
25) A professor on a sea-voyage, when there was a big storm and his slaves were weeping, said: “Don’t cry. I’ve set you all free in my will.”
234) A man with bad breath asked his wife: “Dear, why do you hate me?” And she answered: “Because you love me.”
