"Wildly funny, wildly creative!...Inspired anarchy by this pair of cartoon characters sprung to life!...psychic twins, joined in an irresistible conspiracy to commit comedy! ...silly behavior of the highest caliber!...Like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd on the set of Terminator 3!"
The New York Times

Using a mix of tightly choreographed mayhem, mime and live audio-acrobatics, writers/performers David Collins and Shane Dundas create an imaginative world, full of adventure, where anything can happen.

"Shane and Dave could inspire laughter in a cemetery."
Glasgow Herald

David and Shane met in their first year of acting school in 1988, where they were taught the foundations of modern performance: lack of confidence, poverty, and the power to break a man's nose with a single kick.

The following three years resulted in Shakespeare, Chekhov, a broken nose and their unique fusion of juvenile insanity with comic and theatrical tradition. One day, deciding that the mime classes weren't loud enough, they created their very first Umbilical routine added some sound - and so, the Umbilical Brothers were born!

Please Note: Strobe lights will be used during this show. In addition, because the performance contains some adult language and gestures, and immature behavior, it is recommended for ages 12 and up.
