Mazel tov! Aaron Simmonds is Jewish Comedian Of The Year

Winner of the Golden Groucho

Aaron Simmonds has been crowned Jewish Comedian of the Year.

The comic, who was a finalist in this year's BBC New Comedy Award, took the 'Golden Groucho' award at the fourth UK Jewish Comedy Festival in London last night.

He tweeted: 'What a way to end my best year in comedy and life. I have only got 20 days to boast about being the 2017 Jewish comedian of the year before it sounds like it's last year's achievement '

Simmonds uses a wheelchair and says of his act: 'Having a disability has given me a different perspective on life and gives me the opportunity to ask questions about different issues. Not Just Jokes about disabled toilets.'
