Pedro & Chris Go to Edinburgh

We’re bringing our duo improvisation show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024. It’s part of the 20th edition of the Laughing Horse Free Fringe Festival. New shows stream Aug. 1 to 25 (except Mondays) at 11 a.m. EDT / 4 p.m. BST at https://www.youtube.com/@pedrochrisduo. Each show will be available to stream on our Edinburgh Fringe YouTube playlist after it is first aired and will also appear on MNN Lifestyle through the end of the years on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

Pedro & Chris

One nice thing that came out of the pandemic for me was getting to work with people in other parts of the country and around the world on the web. In November, Pedro Abrantes and I started doing long-form duo improv show via StreamYard to YouTube. I met Pedro, who is based in Toronto, in improv classes last year that were taught by Lisa Merchant and Ian Keeling. The show is called Pedro & Chris. We perform a new show each Monday.

We do about 25 or so minutes of improv and then chat for another 10 minutes. We’ve done several shows so far. Each one is a little different. We might play the same characters the whole time or switch characters. Sometimes it’s funny. Other times, it is not. Like life. Our plan is to invite guests in the spring after we have a number of shows under our belt.
