Comedy Awards | The Winners

Words: Caroline Foran

If you've penned May 6th into your diary as a night to cosy up on the couch and watch the Second Annual Comedy Awards which airs on Comedy Central, we suggest you look away now! We are about to spoil it for you and reveal the winners. We're nice like that.

Taking place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, those lucky ducks at E! had the pleasure of schmoozin' and boozin' with a whole host of A List comedians as they celebrated all manner of comic greatness that's appeared on both the big screen and on our telly boxes this past year. Coming in joint first with the most amount of awards received - four each - was movie Mike's favourite comedian EVER, Louis CK and perhaps the most enjoyable comedy of 2011, Bridesmaids.

Sure we're probably taking the supense out of it here but as per E!, there's still plenty of hurled insults, quips unleashed, and jibes that were served up "spicy-hot" for you to look forward to. And you can expect Kristin Wiig who was, eh, "brawling on the stage floor."
