The Burton Brothers - 1925

The Burton Brothers - 1925

Best Comedy - Nominee - Melbourne Fringe 2023-24

The year is 1925.

The world is born anew in the aftermath of the Great War, the "Jazz Age" is in full swing, and two brothers do a silly sketch comedy show. Button up your glad rags and feast your peepers on this petting pantry! It's the only sketch comedy show set entirely in the year 1925! Now in technicolour!

With big band jazz numbers, Golden Age Hollywood tropes and the stopgap between World Wars - it's a decade rich in material ready to be parodied. The old meets the new as the Brothers take their unique sketch comedy style and play it to the tune of the roaring 20s!

'If you don’t enjoy this show you’re either dead or dead to me.' David Collins, Umbilical Brothers  

'The siblings are comic powerhouses' ★★★★1/2 Chortle

The incredible Burton brothers are back with another hilarious show; slapstick, physical comedy, improv, and ridiculously amusing radio voices straight out of 1925. Their best show yet!
