If it's an official award then it's not funny

The British Comedy Awards were held last Friday. Given that most of the winners are much smarter and funnier than us, it'd be crazy to criticise them. Plus, it's Christmas.

Nice to see Stewart Lee doing well, along with Armando Iannucci, Have I Got News For You, The Inbetweeners and the now cancelled Shooting Stars for both the show itself and Dan Skinner as Angeos Epithemiou. Why the BBC cancelled that show is truly beyond anyone's understanding. Hope Russell Howard's worth it, guys.

Anyway, here are the winners…
