Comedian Russell Kane said he was "utterly humbled" to have won the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
He beat off four other acts nominated for the Fringe's top comedy prize, which is now in its 30th year.
The shortlist included Kane, Sarah Millican, Josie Long, Bo Burnham and Greg Davies.
It is Kane's third consecutive year as a nominee for the coveted prize of £10,000.
