Two brothers. One Microphone. The only limit . . . your imagination. Audiences from Stockholm to Tokyo have laughed like idiots at this acclaimed performance.

Join the Umbilicals in their brilliant signature show, chock-full of internationally tested comedy. You'll see and hear everything on a stage full of nothing.

"The energy of this performance is astounding, the physical discipline faultless, and it is difficult to resist anything that involves hoovering up a cat." - The Scotsman

"My faith in comedy was restored" - The Times

"It's insanely inventive" - Time Out London

"Left me with that rarest of conditions these days: a face that ached from laughing so much" - Vancouver Sun

"You're left only to shake your head and marvel!" - NY Times

And these are just the opinions of critics. Imagine what people who aren't critical think of it!

Auckland weather ... you bundle up with a big coat, scarf, 2 layers of clothing, umbrella and gloves ready for the day ahead (weather report: grey, showers) and then, sure enough out comes the sun. So you figure you'll be clever and the next day you rock your shorts, jandals, singlet, cap - maybe even some sunscreen if you're real game! Sure enough, down comes the rain. Ya can't win.

I can't imagine how much in the pants loving I would get if I surprised my lesbian lover with Umbilical Bro tickets. Come on, Hive! Get me a hand party!

I can't explain how I can function more fully on 3 hours sleep than I do after an entire night's worth.

I can't explain why there is no word in the English language that rhymes with orange.

I cannot explain how the universe knows when I am running late, nor why it will then insist on hiding my car keys, sending me traffic jams and organising for constant red lights and other miscellaneous mishaps – seemingly just to make sure. Yet at other times everything will go smoothly... ?!?!?!?!?!

I cannot explain why, no matter how early I get up, getting ready for work always takes about 10 minutes longer than the time that I have. Always. Weird...

I can not explain how cats know the most inconvenient times to want to come in and out.

How do I know when my son is telling me fibs? He keeps asking me that - I dunno - I just do!

Several times a day, for several days, you induce pain in someone. You control the pain with morphine until the final day of the experiment, when you replace the morphine with saline solution. Guess what? The saline takes the pain away.... Placebo effect... thats unexplainable... kinda like how laughter meant to heal every ailment!!! ... write me up a ticket-to-this-show prescription quick! :)
