Clown double act Harris Morris and Joe Smith star as two robo-clones, separated at birth and raised by different families. They live lives divided by wealth and class, but can they find a way to love in a world where all odds are against them (1980s Merseyside)? Loosely based on Willy Russell’s international smash-hit sensation Blood Brothers (BEST MUSICAL – All Major Awards), but instead of two boys it’s got two robots in it so legally it’s fine, right? This 2023 London sellout show finally makes its robo-homecoming in Liverpool, after a critically-acclaimed run at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe. Praise for Bot Brothers: ★★★★★ ‘Chaotic… Anarchic energy’ – The Crumb ★★★★ ‘Just as bonkers as it should be’ – Binge Fringe PICK OF THE FRINGE (honourable mention) – ChrisOnTheatre Information Source: Stolen Table Collective | eventbrite
