Description
Two robo-clones, born of a mad professor and separated by family and class, must find a way to love where all odds are against them. This two-man comedy from Harris Morris and Joe Smith will take you on a journey through the lives of two adolescent robo-boys navigating life in the normal human world of 1980s Liverpool. Loosely based on Willy Russell’s award-winning musical Blood Brothers (Best Musical, All Major Awards! 15 million tickets sold!) From the company behind The Lost Play of Barry Wayworm: 'Fringe at it's best' ***** (Derek Awards).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

This was our first show of the Fringe 2024 and it couldn't have been better. 10/10 for Mickey and Eddie, the shiny bot boys. Sit in the front row if you're in need of moisturiser. RIP most of Merseyside.

Out of two dozen shows this fringe, this one was easily the best and it wasn’t even close. The Stone Table crew are some of the funniest, and silliest, people we’ve watched, and I’ll never listen to Iris in the same way again.

I wasn't quite sure what I'd let myself in for, but quickly warmed to this hilarious parody of blood brothers. A crazy, energetic performance with lots of silliness and singing definitely worth a watch.

Let me tell you, I had no idea what to expect with this show. I still dont understand what I watched but it was the epitomy of the fringe. One of the most hilarious and unhinged things ive ever seen - absolutely fantastic. Would recommend.

I’ve seen blood brothers 4 times….watching this was by far the most enjoyable version I’ve seen.

I laughed long before the moment the Bot Brothers were born, glistening with fluid and I continued laughing to the West End music finale.
Can’t recommend it enough of you like absurd humour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It has been about thirty years since I saw the show this parodies, but it nails so much of what I still remember not liking about it (the endless refrains - with the same notes - of "Marilyn Monroe" for a start. And adds toaster sex!
Inspired, hilarious, and dangerous to try at home.

I laughed, I cried, I developed confusing feelings for a toaster. Best show I have seen at the festival hands down. Thank you, Bot Brothers

A truly hilarious show about two robot brothers. Watching Bot Brothers made me laugh the hardest I have in years and it is the funniest and silliest hour of comedy you can see. The brothers somehow manage to charm you as you get taken on an emotional rollercoaster with them. The best thing you will see at the fringe!!!

Absolutely unhinged - I loved every second.

This is the first thing I've seen at the fringe this year and I think I've peaked already. Heart wrenching, hilarious, at least 90% unhinged, possibly with some sort of theme. If you're looking for something more than half an hour of standup about taking out the bins, then this is the show for you.
Lynne Davis 161 days ago
Quite possibly the silliest thing I have ever seen at the Fringe, but very funny. It might help if you have some familiarity with the story/musical of Blood Brothers, but even if you don't, it's still hilarious. Some of the scenes with the toaster have to be seen to be believed!

If you're a fan of blood brothers then this is for you. Totally wild take on the play with some great references and crowd moments throughout. These guys are gold.
