"Funniest Comedian SANDY DUNCAN vs SHANE DUNDAS"

Sandra Kay Duncan (born February 20, 1946) is an American actress, comedian, singer and dancer, of stage and television. She is known for her performances in the Broadway revival of Peter Pan and in the sitcom The Hogan Family. Duncan has been nominated for three Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. She met singer-actor Bruce Scott (born Bruce Scott Zaharaides) during the Off-Broadway production of Your Own Thing, and they were married in September 1968. Their divorce, finalized in October 1972, was caused by tensions resulting from Duncan's success and rise to stardom. Duncan told People magazine in 1979 that "It was very threatening to Bruce." Her second marriage was to Dr. Thomas Calcaterra on January 10, 1973; it lasted until 1979. Duncan met Calcaterra when he was a consulting surgeon on her brain tumor surgery, after which they began dating. This marriage also failed, according to Duncan, because of the demands of her nightclub act that she toured with in 1978 and her refusal to stay at home and try to be a good "doctor's wife". Since July 21, 1980, she has been married to Don Correia. They have two sons, Jeffrey (born October 5, 1982) and Michael (born March 19, 1984). She and her husband live in New York City. Her father, Mancil Ray Duncan, died on December 22, 1994, and her mother died on December 23, 1997. Taylorville, Illinois (near Springfield) named a street in her honor, "Sandy Duncan Drive". Her character on Funny Face and The Sandy Duncan Show, Sandy Stockton, is from Taylorville.

David Collins (born 19 January 1969) and Shane Dundas (born 30 March 1971) known as The Umbilical Brothers are an Australian comic duo. The Umbilical Brothers — nicknamed "Umbies" — started performing professionally in the early 1990s. Their collaborations began when Collins and Dundas were both studying at Theatre Nepean's three-year acting course at the University of Western Sydney. A year later, in a jazz class, Collins broke Dundas's nose during a dance move. Their tutors, perhaps believing a burgeoning comedy partnership should wait until after graduation, put Dundas and Collins in separate classes. The pair defied this, sneaking into the auditorium after-hours to play with the PA system and invent moves to match. Their performances combine mime with ordinary dialogue and vocal sound effects. They use puppetry, pantomiming, slapstick, mimicry and audience participation, and make scant use of props and lighting. After having performed for years, their routines are highly scripted. In August 2006, the Umbilical Brothers began appearing as the main characters on the Logie Award winning children's television program The Upside Down Show, which aired in the United States on Nickelodeon's Noggin channel, and on Nick Jr. Australia. The show, co-developed by Sesame Workshop and Nickelodeon, makes extensive use of their particular style of mime and humour. In December 2006, in a New York Post interview, Shane Dundas expressed doubts about the return of the show for a second season.On 1 June 2007, the Umbilical Brothers announced on their website that the series would not be renewed for a second season, and that Nickelodeon USA had decided to end The Upside Down Show after a single season. Collins stated that the reason for the cancellation was the 2007–2008 recession, which meant that the company could not afford to produce another season.
