EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Five years of solo comedy performances on the Edinburgh Fringe finally paid off for London-based actor Adam Riches Saturday when he won the festival's top comedy award.
The Foster's Best Comedy Show prize went to the 38-year-old comedian for what the judges described as his "trademark mix of character comedy, anarchic stagecraft and a fearless level of audience engagement" in "Bring Me the Head of Adam Riches."
They said he had created "a cavalcade of barely controlled chaos" in featuring such characters as Ian Dustry the talent manager, Pedro the swingball star, O'Hara the monster hunter, and the wheelchair-bound despot behind the board game Mastermind.
