Michael Julings/ Hadley Rosenbaum /Will Hearle / Jonny Ruff

We’re more than halfway through this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, and with more than 3,000 shows taking place at this year’s festival, choosing what to watch isn’t getting any easier. But while the 20,000-step days and constant pints might be catching up with punters, performers are preparing for another 10 days of shows, all in the hope of becoming the Next Big Thing.

Below you’ll find reviews of four new comedy talents aiming to impress. Come back next week, where you’ll find more reviews from the worlds of comedy and theatre.
