Croft & Pearce at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Our Story

Hello, and thank you for taking a look at our page.

We are Croft & Pearce (Hannah Croft and Fiona Pearce) and we’ve been writing and performing sketch comedy for the past year and a half on the London circuit. We met at school when we were sixteen and quickly realised that we had a lot in common: brown hair, blue eyes, and a beating heart. (For more tantalizing personal details, check out www.croftandpearce.com).

In February we performed our latest hour-long sketch show for a week at the Hen and Chickens Theatre, which earned us great reviews and a gig at the Leicester Square Theatre this July. Alistair McGowan, Britain's favourite impressionist, called the show “sketch comedy at its very best…French and Saunders meets Peep Show” and remotegoat.co.uk gave us four stars and said we had “great timing and a forte for cringe-worthy comedy”. We sent our showreel to various venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a couple of months ago we were offered a slot at the Underbelly, one of the top four comedy venues.

As well as performing live, we were inspired to dabble with YouTube last November, when it came to our attention that we were (almost) the spitting images of commoner-cum-duchess Kate Middleton. We made several attempts to persuade Prince William to reconsider his engagement. We are still waiting to hear from him… Watch our series of videos here

What We Need

We’re aiming to take our show to Edinburgh on a budget of £6000 and we are looking to raise half of this through sponsorship. This is a minimal budget, covering the essentials: fringe entry brochure fees, venue hire, lights/sound operator fee, publicity material, props, travel.

Other Ways You Can Help

We’d be really grateful if you could help spread the word about our campaign to anyone you think may be willing to support us.
