WE’RE HUGO AND PATRICK

Two men with surprised expressions are standing close together against a green background. They are dressed in dark suits and holding pears, with some pears resting on their shoulders and surrounding them.

Pear are the award-winning sketch comedy duo of Patrick and Hugo McPherson. The best-selling sketch comedy of the Edinburgh Fringe 2025, and nominees of the BEST SHOW at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Pear are a relentlessly silly, riotous, smash-hit comedy machine.

PEAR have sold out four consecutive Edinburgh Fringe runs, as well as three Soho Theatre transfers, as well as runs at the Brighton and Perth Fringes. Their next UK tour starts late 2025.
