JFL NorthWest has just announced the winners of the second annual Vancouver Comedy Awards, and local standup artist Graham Clark has earned five of the prizes, including the coveted title of best local headliner.

Clark has also nabbed awards for best local host/MC, best Twitter account, best crowd work, and best "comedy parent". The podcast he runs with Dave Shumka, Stop Podcasting Yourself, also won for its category.

Local funnyman Charlie Demers also received several nods, including an award for "most enlightening provocateur" and best Youtube clip for his Taco Nazi bit. In the extended joke from his Fatherland album, he barely contains his outrage for a dude with white-supremacist tattoos ordering Mexico's tastiest dish.

On the joke front, Vancouver's Sophie Buddle takes the prize for best dirty joke and Aaron Read nabbed the prize for best clean joke (as well as for "most lovable" laugh-getter). Meanwhile, Ivan Decker earns best joke for his riff on Cream of Wheat.

Steev Letts drew the spotlight as breakout artist of the year.

The awards cover sketch, improv, and podcast genres as well. The Sunday Service at the Fox Cabaret won for best weekly show, as well as best improv group, while Caitlin Howden won top billing for best improviser. Brunch Comedy won for best sketch troupe. The Lady Show took the prize for best variety show.
