Neil Mullarkey and Jackie Clune have taken home accolades in an awards scheme honouring fringe theatre in London.

The website FringeReport.com named Clune's show Boy Crazy as best cabaret, and Neil Mullarkey's Don't Be Needy, Be Succeedy as best satire.

It also handed out some peculiarly specific awards, for example The Legendary Polowski Murders being named Best Cop Spoof.

Promoter Rohan Acharya, who ran The Establishment Club at this year's festival fringe was dubbed comedy person of the year while Marc Blakewill and James Harris from sketch group HMS Comedy were named best comedy writers

Judge John Park said of Mullarkey's show: "This is feelgood comedy at its zenith. Neil Mullarkey's warm and affectionate rapport with his audience, including those singled out for personal tuition, infects the room with delight."

The winners receive a bottle of champagne.
