THE UMBILICAL BROTHERS — SPEEDMOUSE

THE MOST BELOVED SHOW IS BACK — LEGENDARY, LIVE AND NOT TO BE MISSED

It's legendary and it's live. After amusing audiences in countless countries and spreading over the shoulder blades of thousands of viewers, the most beloved show Umbilical Brothers is back. The Sydney Morning Herald described him as “Marcel Marceau on really good drags”.

The Umbilical Brothers is an international comedy phenomenon that has won two BAFTA awards, an Emmy, a Critics' Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe and a Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performance. They have performed in more than 40 countries with six different shows. And now they're coming home with one of their most prized creations — Speedmouse.

Packed with everything you love, Speedmouse is a live acting ride: fast-paced action, scrolling, slow motion, frame-by-frame adventure in which two guys conjure up the impossible using only a microphone and their unique physical abilities that no one else has. This true classic of Australian comedy has garnered a ton of five-star reviews and numerous awards, became the inspiration for their well-received series The Upside Down Show, and received a multi-platinum DVD release, watched in every corner of the world. As a result, in every corner of the world there are now multiplatinum drink pads with the image of the Umbilical Brothers.

Watching Speedmouse on screen was a rite of passage for Australian comedians and comedy fans alike. But if you haven't seen/seen this show live, it's time to take it to the next level. And even on two levels. Join Dave, Shane and their mysterious Roady as they celebrate the return of Speedmouse in a limited series of live theatre shows. This show will make you laugh, smile and wonder how they even get away with it and live off of it.
