THE UMBILICAL BROTHERS
SPEEDMOUSE
--- SPECIAL EDITION ---

"Wildly funny, wildly creative… cartoon characters sprung to life… tightly scripted, technically impressive, inspired anarchy" [NEW YORK TIMES]

The legendary Umbilical Brothers make their eagerly awaited return to Edinburgh with the next generation of their powerhouse mind-trip. After seeing what Speedmouse-technology can do, you’ll never go back to analogue comedy again…

"This amazing duo is a combination of comedian, actor, mime and athlete with exquisitely crafted physical humour and sheer imaginative brilliance" [THE AUSTRALIAN]

Unique Australian dynamos and thinking man’s clowns David Collins and Shane Dundas fuse their astonishing physical skills with an ingenious range of self-produced sounds FX and live audio-acrobatics. Their multi-dimensional world is crammed with adventures appealing to anyone who’s ever laughed at a cartoon, Mr Bean or been wowed by Jackie Chan’s movies.

"A spectacular performance that dazzles… An amazing tour de force by two masters of both mime and sound" [PERFORMING ARTS INSIDER, US]

The Umbilicals have received rave reviews around the globe and won numerous awards including the Edinburgh Fringe Critics Choice Award and a Perrier Award nomination.

"Unique theatrical experience will have you howling with delight" [NEW YORK DAILY NEWS]

David (the one with curly hair) and Shane (the one without) also create the voices and sound effects for Nickelodeon’s popular children’s animation MAISY. Their US TV appearances include Jay Leno, The American Comedy Awards and David Letterman.

"An exhilarating pair of human cartoon figures formed by over-exposure to the exploits of the Road Runner and the breakneck mores of the mosh-pit… Like being sucked into a blockbuster movie starring Bruce Willis, Bruce Lee and Bluto - all of it miraculously created on stage by two skinny blokes in red singlets. I clapped till my hands exploded! [THE HERALD]
