Loaded Laftas

The winners of the Loaded LAFTAs 2012 - the comedy awards organised by the lads mag - have been announced at a ceremony at the Cuckoo Club in London.

Jon Richardson fought off tough competition from the likes of Jimmy Carr and Al Murray to be named the Funniest Man award, whilst Alan Carr took the stand-up prize. Andi Osho was named Funniest Woman.

The Inbetweeners film was unsurprisingly labelled Funniest Film, whilst Channel 4 comedy drama Fresh Meat beat the likes of Outnumbered and PhoneShop in the TV category. Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown, the panel show published by British Comedy Guide, was named funniest podcast.

The winners were determined by the results of a public vote conducted on the magazine's website. In a seperate award, the magazine's Editors bestowed Rob Brydon with the 'Loaded Legend Award', which has previously been won by comedians including Jimmy Carr, Frank Skinner and Bruce Forsyth.

The Welsh actor and stand-up star said: "It's still sinking in. What can I say, you'd be hard pushed to argue that my contribution to comedy has been significant, but as decades go, the last one has been good for me. Prior to that, I was an amusing voiceover in commercials and the odd radio show, so I'm glad you've looked back at this decade."
