Umbilical Brothers bring their show to Dubai

Comedic duo The Umbilical Brothers, known for their slapstick, stand-up and physical abilities, are all set to bring their show to Dubai on October 30 at the Madinat Theatre.

Once named Entertainment Weekly’s “100 Most Creative People in Entertainment”, David Collins and Shane Dundas have appeared on David Letterman’s The Tonight Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. They performed after James Brown at Woodstock ’99, and before The Queen of England. Their mix of physical and vocal comedy has taken them to stadiums supporting Robin Williams, and to the Sydney Opera House in their native Australia.

The duo have performed in 37 countries, including a year-long off-Broadway run where they received a New York Drama Desk nomination. In Australia, they were awarded the Helpmann Award (Australia’s Tony) for Comedy Performance of the Year. Their headlining Edinburgh Fringe Shows grabbed them the Edinburgh Critics’ Choice Award.

Tickets to the show, starting at Dh189, are now available online.
