Need-Menear took the photo and Julings designed the poster with Tom Sandford.

Platt’s Cult Classic won the audience award, after more than 10,000 votes were lodged.

The comic said: 'A huge thank you to Lucy Ridges for the gorgeous images and to Gem Poole for the cool design. I love being able to use posters as a visual language to speak to a potential audience, it's a really fun part of creating a fringe show for me.’

A total of 265 posters were entered into this year's contest. Each winner receives £500 in prize money thanks to sponsorship from marketing consultancy Serious About Funny Business.

Gina Lyons, founder of the Comedy Poster Awards and Gobby Girl Productions, says: ‘A great comedy poster does a hell of a lot of heavy lifting. It has to stop you in your tracks, tell you who's funny, make you want to buy a ticket and somehow convince you the cost to Edinburgh is worth it.’
