So, I'm browsing the British Comedy Guide website, as I sometimes do, and guess which beautiful red mane I see on the front page?
Clue: not Eddie Redmayne.

Well done, Ali.
I saw this on facebook! Ali's such a lovely chap. A big congratulations to the man ;-D
BIG GRATZ TO ALFRED... Oops...I mean Alasdair!
Congrats Ali!
Wow, congratulations Ali! :-D
Nice! And judging by the clips, well deserved. (Ali was the only one who actually made me laugh, although Sindhu Vee wasn't bad either.)
Congratulations, Ali! :-D
Is there a full-length video of the show (or at least Ali's piece) available?
Congrats Ali, on winning the comedy thing!
Congrats, King of Comedy ;-D
That's so cool! Congratulations, Ali! (nod)
His face is like "I'm happy I won, but I also suddenly came to think of all the abandoned puppies in the world"
Nice, congrats on being "king" of comedy! (nod)
I just noticed this post. Thanks guys! Between you and me and the internet, the video wasn't very well edited. They didn't choose most people's best bits (possibly because of swearing) and they've under-recorded the audience so we all sound like we're dying.
Half my set was about the fact that I can't smile properly. And, if nothing else, that photo proves it.

That's fine - you've spent your time leaning how to make others smile instead.
Ok that was way over the top.
