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 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Pear are a relentless, silly, riotous, smash-hit comedy machine.

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