The Umbilical Brothers – The Distraction

Comedy duo "The Umbilical Brothers" are coming to Sweden this autumn! Do you love looking at screens?

Are you looking at a screen right now?

Then you should get out a bit more often.

More specifically, to a show where a big screen plays an important role.

The Umbilicals combine the energy of live performance with the experience of going to the cinema to create a brand-new show that unfolds on stage and on screen at the same time.

The result is unlike anything they have done before and anything you have ever seen.

The expression "blow your mind" takes on a whole new meaning here.

The Distraction encourages your screen addiction.
