Croft & Pearce (Vivienne Smith Management Ltd)
By Andrew Pollard | Published on Wednesday 7 August 2013
If someone were to ask me to describe British culture in an hour, I’d point them in the direction of ‘Croft and Pearce’. A socially awkward house of mirrors, these sketches exaggerate British archetypes to brilliant comic effect in an extremely fluid and well oiled show, in which the actors swirl and lunge from one bit to the next, armed with nothing but two stools and an empty stage. The characters played by this talented duo are engrossing, well observed and frequently head-flingingly funny. If you’re a fan of the likes of ‘Armstrong and Miller’, or indeed, if you simply enjoying laughing, ‘Croft & Pearce’ are most certainly worth your time and money.
Gilded Balloon Teviot, until 26 Aug (not 14), 4.30pm.
