Pakistan's stand-up comedian Saad Haroon has bagged the second position in the finals of the Funniest Person in the World competition.
The winners were determined via an online voting system, for which voting started on October 24 and continued until October 27.
Ismo Leikola from Finland secured 158,945 votes, making him the competition's winner, whereas Haroon was the runner-up with 59,213 votes.
There were five finalists. Mustapha El Atrassi from France came third. Indian-origin Nitin Mirani, who represented the United Arab Emirates, bagged fourth position.
The competition was the brainchild of Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who plans to make it an annual event.
Masada owns a chain of comedy clubs in the US with locations in cities like California.
Dozens of comics from around the world entered. Online voters narrowed the competition to 10 semifinalists, then five finalists before the final showdown in Las Vegas.
