WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Equipped with one microphone, two twisted imaginations and some seriously amped up vocal cords, the kings of theatrical action comedy bring the best of their worst in Speedmouse. These toon-like troublemakers effortlessly mimic every sound imaginable, creating a warped world where they whip up another "uproarious fiesta of carefully choreographed mayhem" (Time Out New York). Leave the kiddies at home for this sensational show that must be "heard" to be believed!

I saw this show back when the Umbilical Brothers were last in NY in 2006 and LOVED IT. Definitely seeing the show again this run. They are an incredible duo that performs a brand of physical comedy thats almost indescribable..stand-up slapstick, mime with sound...however you want to categorize it, it boils down to a unique evening of comedy youll enjoy. But note, some people may know The Umbies from their childrens show "The Upside Down Show" but Speedmouse isnt for kids. Definitely more for the adults.

However, their duties are not so clearly divided, as b[...]
