Nish Kumar, who picked up a Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination this year, was the best-reviewed comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe at the 2015 Festival.

The British Comedy Guide looked at over 1900 different comedy shows, collating more than 5000 reviews from over 50 publications in August and analysed the write-ups. 

Here are the top ten performers who notched up more than 10 reviews with 4 or 5 stars.

1. Nish Kumar

2. Alex Edelman

3. Felicity Ward

4. James Acaster

5. Bridget Christie

6. Joseph Morpurgo

7. Kieran Hodgson

8. Sam Simmons

9. Daphne

10. Nick Cody

The website acknowledged that the results may partly be a reflection of the shows that a high number of critics went to see: "This list is biased towards those that managed to convince lots of reviewers to come and see them. There are almost certainly amazing shows missing from this list because they didn't get 10 or more reviews... so do go and see as much live comedy from up-and-coming comedians as you can too!"
