Edward Fleet has beaten 5,000 potential comics to win the title of Smirnoff Ice Pick of the Wits.

The 22-year-old humanities student at Brighton University has a sense of humour like barbed wire. It hurts and you don't forget it.

Victims of his wit might care to recall that the most famous person to receive an ice pick was Trotsky and like them, he didn't think it was funny.
