Stibbe’s Reasons To Be Cheerful won the published comic novel category.
Comedy Women In Print Prize founder Helen Lederer, who hosted the ceremony from her garden, said: “To have got through this year half out of lockdown, and half in, has been a battle – but we won it.
“We turned the challenge of Covid-19 restrictions into a colourful, online, spatially distanced extravaganza, with witty contributions from star-studded guests.
“My garden may now be eligible for its very own blue plaque.”
