Stand-up from Chortle's Fast Fringe
Here’s Shalaka Kurup talking about being a doctor – but not of the useful kind.
The comedian, one of Chortle’s Hotshots making their Edinburgh Fringe debuts this year, also speaks about getting therapy and having a nonchalant approach to life.
Kurup’s show Get A Grip, is on at Pleasance Courtyard at 8.30pm and this clip was filmed at Chortle’s Fast Fringe in London last month by streaming service NextUp.
