Don't Explain is the title of the second Umbilical Brothers DVD, released in November 2007. The show was filmed at the Athenaeum theatre in Melbourne.

The Description on the back of the DVD: 'Two brothers. One microphone. The only limit: your imagination. Audiences from Stockholm to Tokyo have laughed like idiots at this acclaimed performance. Join the Umbilicals in their brilliant signature show, chock-full of internationally tested comedy. You'll see and hear everything on a stage full of nothing.'^[1]

Plot

Don't Explain is a selection of tangent skits that contain no overall plot; the title is a reference to this^[2]. There are however continuing themes throughout the show, one of which is Dave's attempt to get the hand-held microphone off Shane; this leads to a climax in which they both have microphones and have a Face, Race and Chase Off. Another is the performance of European Visual comedy by Hans and Klaus.
