From the Beeb:
Nicoresti, from Birmingham, took the award and a prize of £10,000 in a shortlist described as the "stars of tomorrow".
The Guardian awarded the show Baby Doomer four stars, calling it "an ebullient hour with a sky-high joke count".
Nicoresti said: "Winning the award sure is swell, I'm super excited and stoked and jazzed. I did this for the queers making weird art, and it's a privilege to share this moment with the first all female line-up of award winners."
Added – Dominic Maxwell in the Times:
The ending is touching, but the hour as a whole is a caustic celebration of the absurdity and necessity of trying to be true to who you are.
He's a man pretending to be a woman, ffs.
