Pear Shaped Afternoons 2008

Pear Shaped Afternoons 2008

Brian and Krysstal return to Edinburgh for their eighth consecutive year with Pear Shaped. One and a half hours of madcap humour in the haunted back room of the White Horse in Canongate. Brian and Krysstal showcase their summer collection of Fringe favourites. Drop-ins, drop-outs, weird and wonderful comedy acts plucked from the streets of Edinburgh.

Pear Shaped ran at midnight in Edinburgh for six years at the Holyrood Tavern. Last year, the duo decided to get up earlier and showcase their comedic peers in the afternoon as part of PBH’s Free Fringe. It was surprisingly nice. Brian & Krysstal were sober, the acts were sober, and the audience were sober. It was so nice Brian & Krysstal have decided to do the same again in 2008.

All acts do 5 minutes Between the acts Brian and Krysstal perform their special brand of humour and silly songs to create a wonderfully anarchic but comfortable atmosphere where anything goes. LOADS of comics LOADS of laughs.

"...a line-up of acts ranging from the highly professional to the unashamedly amateurish. It is wild. Madly wonderful." The Stage

Aug 2-9, 11-22, (1hr 30 mins)

The Two Biddies Go To Gozo

YouTube - The Two Biddies Go To Gozo

A Two Biddies travelogue involving Billy Biddy and Biddy Biddy aka The Three Biddies (although one of them is usually missing) in which case they are known internationally as "The Two Biddies" tell us about the delights of Gozo - a small island surrounded by water not far from Malta which is another small island (also surrounded by water) although slightly larger - but only in size. Billy and Biddy are actually identical giblets. To the untrained eye Billy is far more identical than Biddy but being a lady she doesn't hold it against him. He doesn't hold it against her either because in some countries that's illegal.
