Aaron Simmonds has been crowned Jewish Comedian of the Year 2017.

The comedian, who performs in a wheelchair, won the final at JW3 in north London on Saturday night. The show was part of the venue's current annual Jewish Comedy Festival.

Previous winners include Joe Bor and Philip Simon.

Simmonds, who tweets using the name "rollingcomedian" was also a finalist in this year's BBC New Comedy Award 2017 in August. Read a review here.

He tweeted last night: "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."
