Jollyboat is a British musical comedy double act. Formed in Liverpool in 2010, and now based in London, the act comprises brothers Ed and Tommy Croft. They are known for their Pirate Pop Songs and Keyboard Love Song. In 2011, Jollyboat won the Musical Comedy Awards. They have performed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival every year from 2010 to 2014 to positive reviews, including 5-star reviews in 2011, 2012 and 2014, and a recommendation from The Independent. == Formation == Before forming Jollyboat, the brothers Ed Croft and Tommy Croft began performing in 2007 in their home town of Todmorden and at their local open mic in the neighboring town of Hebden Bridge, winning local awards for their novelty songs and performance storytelling. They later began working together as a cabaret and sketch act, the Amazing Tom and Ed Brothers, and regularly hosted fundraising shows for Amnesty International. Ed left home to attend the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, where he received songwriting tuition from Paul McCartney. Jollyboat was created to be performed at Ed’s graduation show from LIPA in 2010,〔 where the brothers played comic songs inspired by shared childhood experiences. This early set included their act, the Pirate Pop Songs, which were inspired by the comic computer game The Secret of Monkey Island. The name Jollyboat was chosen because it refers both to pirates and comedy. A ‘jolly boat’ is a small rowing boat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jollyboat (comedy act)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
