The Umbilical Brothers are an Australian physical comedy duo. The premise of the show, a kids' show where the audience is made entirely of adults, isn't the most original or groundbreaking, but it's a reasonable idea. The show takes a while to hit its stride; the first half feels tired, unbalanced and cliched but halfway through the Umbilical Brothers bring the show alive with an ingenious interpretation of "Feelin' Good" and a rather dark imagining of The Brady Bunch. A mixture of silly and sinister (mostly silly), this isn't a bad show, if a bit tedious in the beginning, but it manages to find some originality.
