Clips from comedians' sets

Here are extracts from the sets of the comedians who took part in the Chortle Hotshots showcase in Edinburgh on Wednesday night. They are all taking their debut shows to the Edinburgh Fringe this August, so here’s a teaser of what to expect from them all.

Dean Coughlin was selected as our Hotshot from this showcase and will receive help with his show.

The next recipient of a bursary will be picked at another showcase at Top Secret Comedy in London on Moday (Tickets available here)
