I saw these guys on the Royal Variety years ago, and have wanted to see them live ever since. I was not disappointed!
A brilliant show, loads of energy, and a fun concept. There was something there to keep everyone entertained! Definitely not one for the kids, but certainly one for the big kids!

Really, really, really funny physical comedy. I'm sure you've seen bad and these guys define just how funny good physical comedy can be. A bit like Withnail and I with mime but in all the right ways. Enjoy!

How much fun was this? Our two energetic protagonists are staging a kids show but things just keep going wrong, starting with the fact that the audience is a bunch of adults. Things become decidedly un-kid-friendly rather quickly, as we peek backstage at the KiDSHoW.

The Umbilical Brothers – Shane Dundas and David Collins – return to the Fringe after nine years with a brand new hour of physical comedy. Yes, they still have the ability to capture the audience’s hearts for an hour and never let it go.
