The Edinburgh Fringe can be an expensive time for comedians so comedy news website Chortle is doing something about it as they launch Hotshots, a competition for Fringe debutantes to win financial and creative help for their first show. To decide who should be gifted such kindness there’ll be a showcase of 10 of the North’s finest new stand-ups this Sunday at Cultplex hosted by Hayley Ellis. 10 comics for a tenner and you might just spot the next big thing before this year’s Fringe.
