Working with a relative can be testing at the best of times, never mind if that work involves performing together night after night at the world's largest arts festival.
Although keeping it in the family for this duo is the most logical step forward in their already successful comedy careers.

Bucket is the newest offering from Ed Eales-White (actor, writer and one-third of sketch group Clever Peter) and his brother-in-law, Jon Pointing, who, handily, also happens to be a comic actor.

While 'Edinburgh' is the word on everyone's lips in comedy at the moment and yes, Bucket is at the Fringe, we wanted to find out a little bit more about the people behind the curious name.

Ed, 30, lives in London and "generally enjoys being alive". The Manchester United fan married Clare last year, and inherited a new brother-in-law to boot. Jon, 28, and Ed both studied at Winchester University, and performed in a play at the Fringe together in 2009 and 2010, called The Head of The Fork, which was written by Jon.

He also wrote and performed in the BBC mini-series Life Guru with Ed in 2012, and last year performed his debut character show alongside Kathryn Bond in The Kat & Jon Appeal with Freestival. Coming up is a lead role in a new comedy feature film called The Great Unwashed.

In between all of this comedy stuff, Ed is "currently getting into some PG Wodehouse" after reading Bartleby The Scrivener. He has also been playing golf with his dad and tennis with Clever Peter cohort Will Hartley, but now the hard work of a month in Scotland begins.

"The last year has been good," he said. "I won't call it great because I've got to leave room for next year.

"The highlights were getting married, getting a couple of great parts and cooking my first lasagne ('aubergine layer was lovely' - user review).

"I met this Jon character because he is my wife Clare's brother. So we decided there'd be nothing better than testing a family bond by doing a show together.

"The name Bucket occurred because we filled out a venue application with only the idea of working together. It was thought - momentarily - that a comedy play in a prison would be pretty sweet if it was called Bucket... turns out we wanted to do a double act sketch show but we kept the name.

"It's been a collaborative construction (like most buildings); we'd join each other in a park adjacent to both of our flats. We'd then chuck ideas at each other. Some would be horrendous and others would lead us to act them out until we had something we could leave the park with.

"A producer I know lives nearby and she said 'I saw two guys acting bizarrely in the park earlier, then I realised it was you two' - I think that was our first review.

"Expect the best show you've ever seen and then regardless of whether it was or not, tell everyone it was the best show you've ever seen.

"It's a double act comedy sketch show. We've in part used ourselves and the process of making a show itself to create what we hope is an enjoyable, entertaining and funny show.

"Creating it has been quite a relaxed and steady process. We find it quite easy to come to a decision on material and what needs to be cut, for example.

"And the style of Bucket is quite conversational at times, which is something quite new to me, so I actually prefer the piece as whole rather than a particular sketch or character."

Ed got into comedy from an early age, "doing impressions and being a source of light entertainment for my family". Then at university, he met like-minded friends including Ed Wren, Joe Bone, Dom Stone and Richard Bond.

"We created our own comedy night, where we'd put on a new show of sketches every week. It was great fun.

"If you're planning on following my footsteps then I'd say it's worth a try, I like it, but there's only one way to find out if you do."

Bucket is on at The Cellar, Pleasance Courtyard, from August 5-31 (not 12th and 13th) Listing

Clever Peter is appearing on BBC Radio 4's Sketchorama on August 10.
