Jack Whitehall, Miranda Hart, David Mitchell, Greg Davies, Jo Brand and The Great British Bake Off's Mel and Sue are among the stars recognised in this year's shortlist.

Adam Hill's Last Leg and Getting On, starring Jo Brand and Vicki Pepperdine, lead the nominations with three nods a piece, while Miranda Hart has been nominated for best comic, as well as best actress. She's up against Bake Off hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, RT's very own columnist Sarah Millican and Nina Conti for best female TV comic and Jo Brand, Vicki Pepperdine and Fresh Meat's Zawe Ashton for best comedy actress.

When it comes to the chaps, David Mitchell is leading the way. He's up against James Corden, Jon Richardson and Lee Mark for best male comic, as well as Greg Davies, Jack Whitehall and Kevin Eldon for best comedy actor.

Meanwhile, Britain's top comics will be going head to head to be named 2013's King or Queen of Comedy. Last year's King Jack Whitehall is back in the running, alongside Sarah Millican, David Mitchell, Alan Carr, Graham Norton and Lee Mack. Can the Fresh Meat star hold onto his crown?
