British comedian Sam Nicoresti has become the first trans woman to win an award for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The show Baby Doomer explores life as a trans woman and won the Taffner Family best comedy show prize at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
The hour-long show was described as a 'glistening new stand-up show' from 'burgeoning trans icon Sam Nicoresti'.
Nica Burns, director of the awards, said: 'Sam Nicoresti's Baby Doomer is a masterfully woven, polished and delightfully human show that captures an essential moment with, to paraphrase her words, laughs by the seconds.
'Packed with relatable set pieces that linger long after, Sam is a fresh, bright voice that we need in 2025.'
