"A high-energy mash-up of traditional physical comedy and technology performed simultaneously on stage and screen."
Back after last year's successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, The Umbilical Brothers are once again striking chords with their show, The Umbilical Brothers: The Distraction.
Masters of skits and slapstick, voice effects and cheeky antics, David Collins and Shane Dundas bring us their latest offering – a high-energy mash-up of traditional physical comedy and technology performed simultaneously on stage and screen. Something a little different from their previous shows.
Staging included 3 cameras, 2 green screens, laptops, a giant projector screen, and operating the tech desk is the digital wizard, Doug Bayne. ‘Digital Doug’ works his magic is producing creative and hilarious visual effects whilst ‘The Umbies’ whizz from props to puppets, from cameras to green screens, and “targeting” audience members in between.
For an hour filled with madcap mayhem and comedy genius, The Umbilical Brothers: The Distraction will have you giggling from ear to ear but be careful, no seat is safe here and your head might explode!

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.
From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.
The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.
There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
