The Umbilical Brothers: Speedmouse

"The frenetic nature of The Umbilical Brothers left the audience exhausted."

More The Umbilical Brothers The Umbilical Brothers Profile

The frenetic nature of The Umbilical Brothers left the audience exhausted, both from laughter and simply keeping up with the antics of the two most malleable comedians in the business.

The partnership of Shane Dundas' voice acrobatics and the dextrous movements of David Collins were, at times, perfectly in sync.

The performance was held together by a remote control gone missing and a very scary roadie. The missing remote was used throughout the show to make Dundas and Collins pause, fast forward, rewind, go into slow motion and a myriad of other contortionist-like movements.

The culprit was revealed at the end, although this was a bit drawn out.
