The Umbilical Brothers – SpeedMouse in Warsaw

The Umbilical Brothers, the Australian comedy duo of David Collins and Shane Dundas, bring their signature blend of physical comedy, mime, and vocal sound effects to Warsaw. Known for their surreal and highly scripted routines, they have performed on Broadway, the Late Show with David Letterman, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Their show SpeedMouse, first staged in 2001, takes advantage of the latest advances in performance technology, allowing the duo to jump between routines at will—until their remote control goes missing.

Attendees can expect a fast-paced, prop-light performance that relies on puppetry, pantomiming, and audience participation. The duo's style, often described as "microphonic mime," creates a unique theatrical experience where ordinary dialogue and vocal effects replace traditional sets and props. With decades of experience and a Daytime Emmy Award-winning children's series to their name, the Umbilical Brothers deliver a show that appeals to adults seeking clever, physical comedy.
