The Umbilical Brothers are an international comedy phenomenon. Their unique mix of mind-bending comedy and back-breaking physicality has taken the world’s favourite Australian comedy duo to 40 countries – from stadiums supporting Robin Williams to N*Sync.
Winner of Best Comedy 2021 Adelaide Fringe Festival
In The Distraction, they haven’t just broken down the rules of theatre: they’ve invented a new theatrical multiverse. Taking the energy of live performance and the spectacle of cinema and smashing them together into a show performed simultaneously on stage and on the big screen. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen, and nothing they’ve ever done, and it will blow your mind!
Named as two of Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Most Creative People in Entertainment, The Umbilical Brothers awards include a Helpmann for Comedy Performance of the year, The Edinburgh Critic’s Choice Award and a couple of BAFTAs. Younger fans and stoners know them from The Upside Down Show, which won them an Emmy and a Logie.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
