Sam Simmons - my part in his Foster's victory?

When Sam Simmons won this year's Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award on Saturday I was delighted for him. Simmons had been nominated twice before, which meant that to persuade the judges to vote for him he had to improve on previous shows. And he clearly did it with Spaghetti For Breakfast, a veritable maelstrom of zany thoughts, madcap ideas and zippy observations.

Foster's Award - the ones that got away

This year's eight-strong Foster's Award nominations list was the longest-ever list, but that didn't stop plenty of grumbling in Edinburgh's bars last night.

I'd love to see Kieran Hodgson grab the glory

The comedian's show Lance would be a worthy winner, if he can triumph over four-time nominee James Acaster and the inventive Joseph Morpurgo.
