The Umbilical Brothers Biography

In 1988, David Collins and Shane Dundras first met at the University of Western Sydney in a salsa bar on a steamy summer night, where David swung around and fractured Shane's nose. Shane and David came together on their own, made peace, and started developing routines following the event, despite the fact that their teachers tried to keep them away. They include voice sound effects, everyday speech, and mime in their presentations. They hardly ever utilize props or lighting and instead rely on audience involvement, slapstick impersonation, and puppets. Their acts are heavily choreographed because they have been performing for seven years. They have been on David Letterman's Late Show to perform. The Sideshow, Sarvo Good News Week, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (specifically for the "So You Think You Can Mime" segment). Aside from Woodstock 1999, they have also appeared at Cat Laughs Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs Sydney Opera House, Adelaide Fringe Festival, Tampere Theatre Festival, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They are also given credit for the voice acting for Maisy, an animated children's program, with the exception of the narration. In the Double the Fist episode Ultimate Weapon, Shane plays a pair of supernatural guardians to the TimeSaw—one who speaks the truth and one who lies. When The Womp unintentionally convinces both characters into acting in the antithesis of their intended roles, they both burst (how many fingers am I holding up?).
