The winners of the Loaded LAFTAS 2011, the comedy awards organised by the men's magazine and voted for by the public, have just been announced at a ceremony in London...

The 'Loaded Legend' accolade has been given to 'the wickedly acerbic' Jimmy Carr for gags such as: "I'm working on a book at the moment, it's about a zombie that comes back from the dead but the twist is the zombie is the good guy, but apparently it's already been done - it's called the Bible."
The award organisers say: "Deadpan cerebral humour and often shocking one-liners have made Jimmy one of the most popular comedians on British TV." Meanwhile, Stand Up For The Week comedian Rich Hall, also known as Otis Lee Crenshaw on the live circuit, has been awarded the title of Stand-up Legend.

The full results are as follows:
