From Chortle's Fast Fringe

Here's disabled comedian Aaron Simmonds performing at Chortle's Fast Fringe – when he appeared straight after William ​Thompson, who shares the same condition, cerebral palsy.

So he started the set by quipping: 'Guess my disability...'

The rest of the set, in which he talks about why he likes his condition, comes from his Edinburgh Fringe stand-up show, Baby Steps, which is on at Pleasance Courtyard at 4.25pm.

Chortle is presenting Fast Fringe at Pleasance Dome at 7pm, featuring 12 top comedy and variety acts plus a top compere – and with a different line-up each day. Tickets here.

Filming by NextUp,  which will be livestreaming more than 40 shows this Fringe. Sign up here: https://chortl.es/JoinNextUp
