Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday writer Craig Brown was the biggest individual winner at this year’s Press Awards, becoming the first journalist to win three awards in a single night.
Brown took home the awards for columnist and best humour writer for his Daily Mail work. He took over from the late Keith Waterhouse as a Daily Mail columnist in 2009.
His third award, critic of the year, came for his Mail on Sunday writing.
After collecting his second award, Brown joked: “I feel like the waiter on the Titanic who said ‘I know I asked for ice but this is ridiculous’.”
When he later went up to the Press Awards stage for a third time to collect his best humorist prize, he quipped that he wished he had saved the Titanic joke.
