2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Goodbear
Five-star sketch comedy duo Goodbear are back, with a show that'll leave you questioning everything you've ever known. Probably. Accompanied by an original score and produced by award-winning company DugOut Theatre, Joe Barnes and Henry Perryment take us through a day in the life of hilarious and extraordinary characters from across the globe. 'Endlessly funny' **** (List). 'A hilarity that deserves to be experienced' ***** (EdFestMag.com). 'Pure comedy gold dust' ***** (Scribe). 'Very funny and very clever' **** (EdFringeReview.com). 'Barnes and Perryment are clearly destined to make a name for themselves' (Bruce Dessau, BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).
