The winners of the 20th South Bank Sky Arts Awards were announced at a ceremony today.
The Sharon Horgan/Rob Delaney sitcom Catastrophe picked up Best Comedy, beating Peter Kay's Car Share and Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum.
Eddie Izzard was presented with the Outstanding Achievement award by Lenny Henry, joining previous winners from Tracey Emin to J.K Rowling. Host of the awards Melvyn Bragg said “Eddie Izzard is a marvel.
Reece Shearsmith is to appear onstage in London later this year.
He will co-star with Ken Stott in a new production of Ronald Harwood's play The Dresser, directed by Sean Foley.
New settings include a restaurant after closing time, an art gallery and an alpine chalet in 1978.
By one of those quirks that you either love or deem irrelevant, I've just seen two shows in a row with a noose onstage. First there was Sam Simmons’ dark Foster’s Award-winning Soho Theatre show. And then this positively pitch-black piece of theatre by acclaimed writer Martin McDonagh, who most will probably know best for the hit hitman movie In Bruges.

Reece Shearsmith has been confirmed as one of the stars of a new play, Hangmen, which opens at the Royal Court Theatre on September 10.
Hangmen, written by Martin McDonagh, tells the story of "the second-best hangman in England" on the day in 1965 when hanging is abolished. McDonagh also wrote the movies In Brudges and Seven Psychopaths.
Another dramatic tonal gear change in this fantastic series this week. And also a change of period, with writers Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton taking centre stage in The Trial of Elizabeth Gedge, set during the witch trials of the 17th Century.
Shearsmith and Pemberton play Warren and Clarke (decide for yourselves if that’s a homage to the late actor), who are called in to oversee a trial in the village of Little Happens. Is Elizabeth Gadge (Ruth Sheen) a sorceress in league with the devil or just a smutty old hag?
The co-star of this week’s Inside No. 9, Tom Riley, recently tweeted that it was “maybe the greatest half hour of TV I’ve ever been lucky enough to be in”. Actors are not unfamiliar with the art of hyperbole, so perhaps we should take that with a wheelbarrow full of salt. On the other hand I think he might just be right.
After being harshly overlooked in numerous end-of-year awards thingies, it’s been nice to see the first series of Inside No 9 finally picking up some accolades this week. The series of six self-contained playlets by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton picked up prizes at the Chortle Awards and the Royal Television Society Awards and now returns for six new comic chillers with a twist. No pressure then.
Further details have been announced for the new series of Inside No 9. The next six episodes of the self-contained comedies-with-a-twist by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton will start on BBC2 on Thursday, March 26.
The first episode, La Couchette, is set on a sleeping car on a French train when a group of mix-matched passengers is thrown together. The cast includes Jack Whitehall, Julie Hesmondhalgh and Mark Benton as well as Shearsmith and Pemberton.
