Croft and Pearce – Funnier than It Sounds
Underbelly

A well-thought out sketch show with two naturally funny artists. The subject matter is topical but not exactly ground-breaking, though Croft and Pearce have put an original slant on it – eg a Royal Correspondent discussing ‘Kate Middie’s muff … is it pierced?’, ‘Pippa Middleton’s ass’ and stds; an envious creative writing teacher; an over-bearing brownies leader wanting to ‘sex things up’, and my personal favourite – a woman auditioning for an incontinence advert.

Croft and Pearce have a special chemistry, and deliver what is one of the most articulate and well produced sketch shows I’ve seen.  Their characters vary throughout the production, and don’t fall into the ‘typecasting’ prevalent in other duo sketches.

A goodway to start your day of festival fun off, with lots of laughter and audience participation.
