Fife comedian Richard Gadd has won the Best Comedy Show prize at the annual Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Scott Gibson, from Glasgow, made it a double win for Scotland as he scooped the Best Newcomer prize at a ceremony in Dovecot Studios on Saturday.

Gadd's "Monkey See Monkey Do" show was critically acclaimed and saw him spend a large part of the act running on a treadmill.

He is the first Scottish winner of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's biggest comedy award in almost 30 years, and will claim a £10,000 cash prize.

Nica Burns, director of the lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Awards, said: "A record- breaking year for Scotland with a double Scottish win as Best Comedy Show is won by Richard Gadd from Fife and Best Newcomer by Glaswegian Scott Gibson.

"Richard Gadd's highly original, extraordinary show combines hilarity and heart and Scott Gibson is a brilliant stand-up who can make a near death experience funny.

"The first Scottish winners since Arnold Brown in 1987."

Gibson's "Life After Death" show is his debut act at the Edinburgh Fringe, winning him a £5,000 cash prize.

He is described as having "a conversational style with a unique brand of dark humour."

The Panel Prize award went to "Iraq Out & Loud", a show which saw the Chilcot report into the Iraq War read out aloud in full by a team of volunteers.

It took more than 284 hours of continuous reading to finish the whole report, with the performance concluding on Saturday, August 20.

Ms Burns said: "This was a big idea, of the moment and of huge importance involving a large part of the comedy community.

"It truly captured the spirit of all that can be possible at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe."

More than 650 comedy shows were eligible for the three awards and the judging panel attended over 1,700 performances during the three weeks of the festival.
