Bridesmaids also picked up four prizes: for best comedy film, best comedy screenplay, best director for Paul Fieg and best actress for Melissa McCarthy.
Special accolades at the awards – set up last year by the Comedy Central TV channel – went to Don Rickles and to Robin Williams.
Rickles, the 85-year-old pioneer of insult comedy, won the Johnny Carson Award Presenter Jon Stewart said ‘People love Don Rickles, but comics revere Don Rickles’

One of the surprise winners of the night was adult spy cartoon Archer, which was named best animated comedy series.
