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!

I have found it very difficult to explain to my children this week why a friend has died so young and why God has taken him up to his garden in heaven. They wonder why they can't go up too to see him. A very hard subject to explain to anyone.

Well there is this thing that when you um you thing it the thing goes thing'ume but then it doesn't . I mean what colour is it supposed to be when it doesn't , ummm you know. Or even if it's supposed to be a sound or bing or crash or what.
Now explain how I'm supposed to explain that when it doesn't even , umm you know.

I just can't explain why oh why oh WHY do toasters always have a setting that you can accidently turn it to, that burns the toast to a horrible, smelly, black crisp, which no decent human being would ever eat?

I can't explain why some people sit in the fast lane on the motorway doing under 100km per hour. Doh!

I can't explain this.....
You know when you are cold, and someone else is cold, and you huddle together to keep warm, and you both end up feeling warmer....now where does that extra warmth come from???

Childbirth....you really can't explain it to anyone unless they have been through it, so I won't even try.

I can't explain how our rabbit managed to miss the fact that her hutch lid was left off all night and was still there in the morning!
