Clips from comedians' sets

Here are extracts from the sets of the comedians who took part in the Chortle Hotshots showcase at London's Top Secret Comedy Club on Monday 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.

Vinny Shui 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 the Glee in Birmingham on Wednesday February 19 (Tickets available here)

And you can watch highlights from the first showcase in Manchester here and the second in Edinburgh here.
