Rising star Miss London wins Funny Women's Award

Miss London, a twenty year-old student from the capital, has won the Funny Women's Award 2009 at the Comedy Store.

Judges said Miss London (real name Dionne Hughes) deserved the award for her "sharp, savvy black comedy [which] leaves no hostages".

She beat off competition from a strong field of young comediennes which included Eve Webster and character stand-up Jo Selby, who came second and third respectively.

Lynne Parker, founder of the Funny Woman's Awards said: "Dionne, Eve and Jo were the worthy winners as they raised the bar in terms of personal performances."

The charity awards ceremony is held annually with proceeds from this year going to V-Day: Until The Violence Stops, a worldwide campaign group against violence towards women.
